Cording help
I had a lumpectomy 5 weeks ago and only just realised that I have cording under my arm. It's painful to lift my arm above my head and I see a cord bulging out from under my arm that is sore to touch. ...
Thank you for all your advice and experience. I have contacted my radiotherapy nurse and they have booked me in to see a physio ((but not for another two weeks!) but an occupational therapist gave me some advice over the phone on stretching and massage. I am also seeing an oncology massage therapist tomorrow. I am just frustrated that there was no discussion about any of these side effects when I had surgery. If they could be avoided to some degree with simple massage and exercise, surely it’s a fairly straightforward referral or fact sheet.
