Radiation after lumpectomy
wondering what's the normal time after lumpectomy does radiation start? I had the small cancer and one node with cancer removed on 1st April. ( one node had changing cells - pre cancer). Oncologist ...
@Anne65 WOW! You have certainly been thru the mill. I wish you all the best on your gene test result and hope it is negative so you can just get on with the rest of your treatment - the wait for the results must be a real pain for you - I know that I'd hate it! It must be so difficult with your Mum's cancer and untimely death. :( Life is a real bitch sometimes :(
Thank you so much for info about the Mepitel - it will be on my list of questions when I finally get to see the radiologist at Port Macquarie.
I see the Lymphedema lady next week back in Sydney. My surgeon was very non committal about deodorants - whether one is better than the other or not - right now I am using a roll on Mitchum one (I usually use a Men's Stick deodorant) and it is much more comfortable just now than the Stick. Our local pharmacies didn't have the crystal one.
Thank you for your kind response to my results - yes, our surgeons used the same technique, I reckon - with a very tidy result! .... In a way - it all just seems like a bad dream! Yes, The underarm is still quite sore & my sleep still very hit & miss.
Take care - my thoughts & prayers are with you xx
