Hi
I was diagnosed 3rd June and am having lumpectomy and axilla excision on 9th July. Stage 3 and in nodes. Am a little bit terrified. Am looking for help re after effects of the axilla surgery as the more I read the more anxious I get.
Thank you Glynnis. Surgery tomorrow and am in high anxiety state...
Hi Shirley, I had a lumpectomy and sentinel node removal in January, came through op very well, get a little bit of burning discomfort if lift something to heavy but just. Do my stretches and things settle down. They took 3 nodes and cancer was in each of them, my case was a little different cause when I had body scan to check to see if had spread I glowed like an Xmas tree, but it turned out wasn't cancer but something called osteopoikilosis (spotty bones) which I was so happy to get that diagnosis, away long story short, I'm in the process of having chemo, with lymph node removal op set for 2/10, will be so pleased when that over. So I can't say how I'll feel after that but I'm sure all will go well with you and I'm told as long as you do the physio and exercises things should be ok, I wish you well with your op, Glynnis xx
Thank you that was helpful . Best of luck tomorrow
