Lymphedema in breast ???

oh dear @cranky_granny - not the report you wanted to hear xx  all the best for your appt on Wed and CT.  Being on the conveyor belt again is a bit of a pain, eh - but necessary xx  

Good luck with the Arimidex - it's been the best one for me, so hopefully you don't get too many side effects. xx

take care xx. Let me know when you make it up this way xx

Well yesterday came with good and bad braca 1or 2 mutation 
No back to my breast surgeon on Wednesday haven’t seen her in 3 years
ct of head on monday  I could have told them I don’t have a brain. 

Thank you everyone 
@lrb_03 sounds interesting i will be looking into that for sure

@cranky_granny I have breast and trunk lymphoedema as well as arm. A couple of years ago my lymphoedema physio suggested this lumpectomy pad, which in combination wth lymphatic massage, has worked wonders. I have one, which I wear 3-4 days a week. If I had 2 I'd have one on 7 days a week

Do you see a lymphoedema therapist at all? Is there a public lymphoedema clinic anywhere bear you?

Feel free to message me

@cranky_granny best wishes for apt 18th nov.  

@cranky_granny
Best wishes for the 18th
Take care

Big hugs from me, @cranky_granny .... my head is all over the place too xx

@arpie the ultrasound  showed nothing 
i suppose the gp did his best ordering that 
seeing i see clinic on Thursday morning 18th. They should know what next. Im not
not sure whats next Re treatment my onc said there were many steps from what i on which is tomoxifen. Even though im post menopause when i got switched to that there was only 1 spot. Now there 2 definites and possible others that will need follow up 
i think im just over reacting. Having trouble getting my head back to its she’ll be right state ATM 
i need a hug from my sister in Wingham 
just got to get there 

That is definitely NOT NORMAL @cranky_granny and needs addressing NOW - and should have been addressed BEFORE now. :(  I would almost consider that malpractise by anyone who's seen you when the swelling is 'full on'.  They would not put up with it themselves ...... 

Have they done an ultrasound on it (other than the CT?). 
 
I am so sorry it is happening to you.  xx

Hi @arpie 
I had breast conserving surgery. You know open up chop out anything attached to the tumour. Got the skin from the excess sag from being a jersey cow when feeding the kids,  though it didn’t fill the hole just put back the skin they had removed and made that breast a size smaller.
