Waiting, waiting hmmmm, it's all we seem to do these days. Had my operation to remove IDC and nodes on Tuesday. Quite tender still but very manageable. Very tender at base of neck/throat at the top of chest near clavical with glands all swollen. lumps in both glads. Not sure if it's related or i am getting something. 10 days to wait for pathology results but am doing ok.
cheers Jo
hi jo,
i feel for you at this time, and yes i was shocked and upset at my new breast ( boob ) shape initially. also because of the pain and discomfort you know it is there, and under the arm. i think time has helped, and getting a prosthesis to even the weight from the other side. i also have less pain now.
do look into some pain relief. i read it helps with healing.
it is ok to vent on here. it IS a loss/ grief rection after BC. i went into major DENIAL i think also. lots of emotions like sadness, shock, bargaining.
finally acceptance happened, but not for some time.
have you got some support to turn to? i hope so.
kathy.
Im glad you are enjoying your time now that your not working. I really miss not being out there and cant wait till i can get back into the workforce. I just need this treatment plan to hurry up and be done with.
The wound site under the arm is the worse, very red , swollen and throbs,(bearable though) the wound under my boob is not as sore. I have made appointment with GP to check if something is going on.
My boob is a disgusting shape now, it is gross. Sorry! i wont start
Cheers Jo

Glad to hear you are back from the darkside.Yes, the waiting game is most cruel.Just watch lots of daytime tv and read trashy magazines-guaranteed to distract you! Your lymph nodes usually enlarge when you have an infection to fight so check your temp and watch your wound site.
