Hi Naomi,
I have finished active treatment now, I had a Lumpectomy and Sentinal Node Biopsy with my first surgery and ended up having to have an auxillary node clearance on the 29th July 2015 and I too have total numbness under my left armpit as my surgeon had to sever my nerve and I haven't got the feeling back but on the upside the shooting pains will dissapear soon but I'm not sure about the numbness but your surgeon will know, you are definatly lucky you don't have to have a 2nd surgery unfortunatly I had to have the second surgery but I look back now and it's like wow I made it to the other side of treatment it was a long road and believe me we are stronger than cancer ever will be, with a positive attitude and a smile you can beat this. Sending you a big cuddle, smile and heaps of positive vibes.
