Sentinel lymph nodes removed - Chemo & Radiation treatment
I have my first appointment with Oncologist next week and I'm writing down any questions that pop into my hear and seeking useful tips from others who can offer suggestions for what helped during day ...
@Afraser must be a surgeons quote since mine too told me “a good scrub out and a strip back. Might hurt a bit but think we’ve got the bugger this time”. Made me laugh so much.
He’s such a lovely gentle man - was way more annoyed with the seroma than me (and kept apologising for it developing and not being an easy fix) and he spoke to the oncologist regularly to keep him up to date. So I’ve always felt like I was in the best of hands with them both.
(Can totally acknowledge that they wouldn’t be everyone’s choice though. Like everything medical treating practitioners have style that means you have to get a personality match).
