New diagnosis, have had mastectomy
Hi All I was diagnosed with breast cancer on 24 August. Core Biopsy and FNA showed that I had cancer in the tumour, in the milk ducts and lymph nodes. I freaked out at that but saw surgeon 24 hours l...
@Shellbelle_75 that sounds very positive about the nodes. It's understandable they want to be cautious and good too. It's better if they are thorough. Don't worry about the oncologist appointment. If you can ask the breast nurse to go with you they are great because they understand whats being said they link you in with whatever is necessary and give you heaps of support. How have you been going with your arm exercises or is it too painful?. I was told the exercises help enormously with the fluid but you may have a seroma?. I had mine drai b ed 3 times in 3 weeks. It doesn't hurt but feels so much better afterwards. Just a wild guess no gp here lol. Hope the physio helps. Stretching exercises but stop if there is pain. Take care xx
