Hi Lyn,
The radiation has damaged my lymph nodes - apparently quite common these days with lumpectomies - I've seen the breast physio this week and have had some reduction in pain and swelling but apparently it may not ever be resolved completely so very slow recovery is the norm. I am using cold packs and massage and gentle exercise and have ordered pressure bras as I am still in crop tops and not really happy with that. The worst is travel as I am travelling regularly with work around the state and will be presenting a paper in Melbourne in May and visiting a pain clinic in Melbourne next month. If you know of any good tips please let me know. I have had some very strange bruising with the tamoxifen but that is now resolving itself slowly. How are you going? I hope all is well with you. Suz x
