Breast Lymphodeama, Who has heard of it?
Hey girls,
Just wondering who has heard of breast lymphodeama and/or experienced it?
Not sure if you remember but I put up a post a while back about my concerns of recurring BC in my affected bre...
Hi Mich,
Just did a quick google and found these links below...thought you might find them reassuring.
Apparantly there is such a thing as truncal and breast lymphodema, and skin changes, and redness are two of the symptoms. Poorly documented but not so uncommon.
I feel your pain re the fear. I recently discovered two lumps in my remaining breast and wrestled for days whilst awaiting tests between the common sense it must be cysts/couldn't be so unlucky as to develop such aggressive breast cancer in the other breast whilest undergoing chemo....to omg i have developed aggressive cancer in the other breast which wasn't there four months ago, is now two lumps I can seriously feel, and it's survived chemo.
Seeing those two disappear on the ultrasound when they were sucked out was the best thing I've seen in ages.
Hope these links help appease your worries.
