Hi all, I’m new to this group. I want to thank you for sharing your stories, it has made my journey a little easier. I was diagnosed on 20th Sept. and have had 2 surgeries to remove 4 tumours. The largest was a 3.5cm lobular. They removed a few lymph nodes and the sentinel node too, they were all clear. I still have quite a large pocket of fluid near the second incision site.
Could I ask for some advice? I’m 11 treatments into Radiation and, from the sounds of your descriptions, I could be developing radiation fibrosis. I have a tightening/burning feeling from my armpit to my nipple when I raise my arm and some random stabbing pains in my breast and underarm, just out of the blue. The fluid pocket is very hard now too. Should I mention this to my doctor? Is it likely that it will worsen, given I have another 15 treatments to go?
many thanks!
