Get Connected Day!

Hello there Lynne,

Thankyou for your message...lovely to hear that my message brought a smile to you. Congrats to you on the selling of your home and your new found friend, we can never, ever have too many friends...its a blessing, isnt it :)

Im located in Morwell (this site has it down as Hazelwood, something to do with the post code area number i feel, but its Morwell). Today is the 1st day that i have actually seen improvement, from having side effects of my 1st chemo treatment on the 11th Jan..its taken a while, and its been a rough time, but im here, and as i sit here today...im seeing the other side, not normal ..but not in that deep dark hole that i was in. So its an improvement.

I dont have pain in the area where my breast was removed, but i have alot of numbness. My pain is associated with having the anxillary clearance done, numbness and tingles and pain in the underarm and arm itself - i have been told its ok, that everyone is individual in their own healing time, and its not infected, i dont have lympodemia ...its just taking its own time to heal, soo...i have to rest, not try to do to much excersise(although still doing the things that i was shown to do, and massaging the area too), with trying to get the muscles working again...patience, patience...

I would maybe ask your Doctor about the pain..just as a precaution, and to ease your mind, that all is ok?...but thats just a friendly tid bit from me to you :)

I do hope that pain subsides, and that you are kept safe

take care

~hugs~
