Triple Positive Breast Cancer
Hi there first time on here, not really into social media but was wondering if there are others, which I am sure there are who have the same diagnosis as me, would be nice to talk to someone who is go...

I hear you @Ned01 I am sure mustering up motivation for more surgery is digging deep.
As @arpie described, the feeling of tension and sensitivity in the area of the operation and from the scar near the lymph node has continued for me but it doesn’t for everyone- and my sensitivity is not in a way that is super painful or constant - it’s certain postures or if any pressure is applied. I am actually seeing a physio who specialises in post breast surgery scarring and recovery this afternoon. So it’s positive to know there’s incredibly skilled people who can help.
I had a laugh when I was wincing during an ECG ultrasound and apologised to the technicians - she said some of her patients do experience it and “…there’s probably a bit of stretching and bruising going on in your breast after a lumpectomy… same suitcase but packed differently” ☺️
hopeful that this is just a matter of time- certainly I can feel the tenderness has reduced in intensity.
@Ned01 My oncologist recommended I pause having Kadcyla whilst doing the radiation therapy. Having radiation therapy can tire some people (it did me) especially towards the end, so a pause worked well.
