Re: Happy Birthday for today 20th November to @smokie08
Thank you gumnut, I did not think i would get a mention as I don't come on here very much now. So thank you very much for remembering it is my birthday. Unfortunately I had to work today and can't really celebrate as in lock down. Will have a few beers and and BBQ instead. Take care all and stay safe X15Views1like0CommentsRe: Lymphedema and bras?
Hi @Shellshocked2018_ I found the bras from KMART quite comfortable (2 for$20) they are wire free. Also I still do the exercises the phisyo gave me after the surgery every day. I find if I don't do them my arm feels tight and I get a bit of swelling. I have to move my arm quite a bit in my job and have had no problems with lymphedema. Take care xoxo58Views1like0CommentsRe: Paclitaxel & Hot spotty hands, spots on arms and rashy ankles and spots on legs, rash on both knees
Hi @lady_with_green_eyes, If I remember rightly I had a bit of a rash on paxlitaxol and carboplatin oncologist was not too concerned hang in there it's nearly over. Take care xxx55Views1like0CommentsRe: Happy Birthday - 20 Nov - smokie08
