Hi
This is my first time to post. I had a very early diagnosis last June, so lumpectomy plus sentinel lymph node removal last July, and on Tamoxifen since Nov. Surgery went well and great prognosis. However my side effects from the Tamoxifen is like an all over "buzzing" (not sure how else to describe it) - plus the tingling in hands, night sweats, hot flushes. I cant see anyone else commenting on this, so interested to hear. Almost like my nervous system is revving up - it is not getting any better and keeps me awake at night. Poss i will try some meditation?
Also I had ongoing swelling in the breast after surgery and during radiation. While the swelling has disappeared, it is still very painful (and numb) and I cant even imagine playing volleyball or running now (almost 10 months post surgery) :) Again - interested to hear if anyone else has gone through. My physio tells me that I just need to wait and it will settle down, but the whole recovery period seems to be taking so long to get any sense of normality! unfortunately that thensometimes impacts on me on thinking positively.....
I havent really known anyone else who has gone through it, so havent spoken with others yet...
Thank you - all you wonderful women!
