Hi everyone

hey Shazz, yeh, I got the old lymph,, too, they took 8 and 2 were bad, cos had the lumpectomy and auxillary clearance 1st, margins were bad and then had the cut,,,, i didnt know I had lymph,,dma My BCN told me that I would wake up and my arm would be swollen if I was gonna get it, but "you wont get it, its rae",, hoh, right,, I thought it was cording and just doing stretches for it, and when I had to cut my rings off, i thought it was cos of the weight gain,, it was only when i started doing Radiotherapy and one of the nurses in there said, oh you have (that big word) well send you to the physio,, so  with massage daily, im keeping it at bay touch wood,, I found that the compression bandage made my hot flushes worse and id end up havin a panic attack trying to get the dar thing off to cool off, lol, omg the things we do,,

So I went to the RadOnc and i told him I had stopped the Tamoxifen, and that it was only till the end of may, cos eveything i was doing was making no difference,, id had bloods the week before and my Cholestorol was up,new, so after a good look at the situation, and him telling me the risks and that he would beat me with a stick if i dont lose weight,lol, Im off it for awhile,, I think what he said was with my cancer and treatment, i would be 2% higher at risk of the usual (thats how Itook it) its scary isnt it, sittin havin a coffee somewhere and watchin ppl go by and you think wow, the stats, evry 1 in 8 of you,,,,,,,,,,

take it easy chiccy,, mechell
