Just got back from seeing my rad nurse
The update @GinGin
Its all normal, that the swelling is the body's way of trying to heal itself and protect the tissues that are trying to recover from all this radiation.
Apparently I have now peeked for the worst part of this treatment, and it all should now improve over time.
Now dug out my old breast care pillow I was given for after surgery to keep the arm off the under arm pit area.
Check up next week. she did take measurements and photos as a point of reference.
Pain killers come at me
She didn't think it was the start of Lymphedema, so fingers crossed it stays that way.
