Forum Discussion
Funnily enough it was the breast cancer nurse that said that it is something I think about before i have the masectomy. The surgeon was there when this was discussed but the surgeon made no comment so I dont know their feelings to this.
I have had a lumpectomy and axillary clearance but tumour was bigger than anticipated (8cm) and is in 20% of lymph nodes. I am 47 and married and am concerned about to do or not to do. I am having chemo now and dont want to have to repeat all this in a few years!!!
Had the clearance 8 weeks ago, find the exercises really help with pain and stiffness.
