  • Hi Kate. So glad that your ultrasound results were clear. I had a scan a couple of weeks ago for similar concerns that was also all good.

    Four months on from finishing radiotherapy,  I don't have a lot of sensation in my nipple or lots of breast and axilla. However, my shoulder and axilla area are much stiffer and more painful than previously in spite of keeping up with all advised range of motion exercises religiously. Hopefully that will  all start to settle soon. It's one of those things I wasn't expecting, so I just wanted to give you  warning. Hope it  doesn't happen  that way for you. 

    Take care, Lyn

  • tks Keiley and scanxious... well the results are good even thou everyne can feel the lumps the ultrasound didnt pick anything up...and they said go enjoy your life now and if it is anything it will be picked up when im due to have my mammogram in January next year...

    and radiologist said if im not happy to keep going back to my doctor i said no ill leave it as they make me feel like im being stupid going on about some lumps that they can feel but nothing shows up lol
