Another bad start to the year

@arpie the sore rubbed feeling armpit could be neuropathy which is caused by them having to move around the major nerves when they do the axillary dissection.  I had it really badly with the wide excision and it's still there a little from the mastectomy.  I found that putting padding through the side of my bra and tucking it over the top helped a bit.  Or you can use some of that paper tape and tape some padding across the sore part.  There doesn't seem to be much you can do about it - just wait for the nerves to sort themselves out.
