Infected lymphoedema
Hi all. It's been a while since I've been on this site. A brief history. Diagnosed May 2015 with node positive invasive ductal carcinoma. 6 cycles of chemo, followed by lumpectomy & axillaary disse...
Thanks to all for your responses. @Cosette_BCNA, thanks for reaching out to Afraser.
@Afraser, I still have a seroma in my breast, and a smaller one in my axilla, neither connected to whatever is going on in my breast. I have a medical oncology review in about 3 weeks, so maybe he'll have some ideas, if there hasn't been any change by then. Failing answers there, I'll head back to my surgeon, who is in a different city to me (complicatingmy own life, but that was my choice)
@Soldier Crab, If you call around every 4-6weeks regular, I do have massage with my lymphoedema physio. I saw her last week, and she spent most of the availble time working on my breast, but didn't have to many suggestions. I do my self massage twice a day, as she has always advised. Unfortunately, not in a position financially, or time wise to do more than that.
Cosette, on another subject, is there somewhere I can look for some guidelines or instructions on the new site? I know I had a number of notifications before the changeover, but can't work out how to find them. Thanks again
