Thank you. It’s just a little bit funny after bc surgery & radiotherapy I’m the quickest undresser- but have to remember to put gown on opening at back! But back to the best front opening bra- Amoena Hannah from David Jones $39... again - heart bypass, breastbone crack & wired - just another bump in the road.. but sad my magnificently healed scar from last July just looking invisible- now this .

Sorry @arpie - no chemo. Undiagnosed murmur that has surfaced. Luckily I’m really good at getting tests done and radiotherapy makes us the fastest dress/ undressers for X-rays /ultrasounds/echocardiograms/ ECG/ angiograms... sense of déjà vous. Surgery booked - another 3-6 months off work. Ce la vie 🥰6Views1like0CommentsRe: Sore breasts post treatments (lumpectomy)
I’m 11 months post lumpectomy and 9 months post radiotherapy and my breast aches along scar line - Approx 14cm- every day- on the left side where mandarin sized lump taken out, sometimes stabbing sometimes dull ache- cold pack work, massage or Panadol . I’ve had 6 months oncology check up but since then have also had rib pain where I have my permanent tan ... I’m popping in to gp this Friday. As just diagnosed with heart failure and heading for open heart surgery- just feel I better check in- better safe than sorry. I’m 57 and have never been sick so the last 11 months have been a doozy! Everyone’s journey sooooo different but ongoing niggles seem part of the course . My mum had breast cancer - with the works of every treatment but battled on for 25 years... stay strong 💪🌸❤️10Views2likes0Comments
