My right breast doesn't feel the same anymore ... Is this the new norm post lumpectomy, chemo & rad?
I had my lumpectomy in June 2017 and lymph nodes in right arm removed in July. Chemo stopped at Xmas and rad in March. Now I am just on Herceptin until Oct. I have been noticing changes over the past...
Hiya and thank you for the info! I was actually attached to Breast Cancer WA during all my treatment and can’t speak highly enough of them. My family couldn’t handle my diagnosis so all my support came from outside sources. If anyone is in Perth, they are a godsend offering so many resources including counselling. I admit I had a more active social life with them than now!
I am not in favour of having a breast lift on my “good” breast due to scarring (the internal kind) and any possible risks. I think that it is a good choice for many women and respect that but I can a good bra to fake it!
You have done so well! I need to lose 10kgs as a starter as I have diabetes2 . I think an exercise physiologist would be great as I lack motivation- the treadmill ended up being a clothes rack!
Many thanks for your advice and I am taking away a lot of ideas and your story is so motivating to me! Love ❤️
