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 ...
Hi @Afraser
Many thanks for what you have raised - I was thinking about looking around for a specialist therapist - and I'm hoping that this initial 1 hour appointment at the hospital will have some sort of a follow on / referrals once I know what they detect - its hard to know if what I'm feeling in my arm area is the settling down following surgery that they mentioned to expect for up to a year. Some days the upper arm feels tighter than other days. Do you know if it makes any difference as to which position you sleep - to sleep on opposite side to where surgery was done to increase lymph flow?
