Still have a lot of pain in the arm and rib. Am told it is the effects from the radiotherapy which I finished last November. Seems I just have to take painkillers but at least my fears were unfounded. I am lucky that I have a brilliant GP. The breast cancer nurse from the hospital has not phoned me with the results!!!!! <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=226892&AppID=21420&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Sue Ghttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/a0e56845c5e24bb7983b1c0cc1149ab2https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/sue_g/posts/reconstruction-choices2009-04-14T21:29:44Z2009-04-14T21:29:44ZHi I have an appointment on Thursday in Birmingham with my consultant plastic surgeon to discuss the reconstruction of my left breast after my mastectomy last April. I have watched the DVD they kindly sent me and to be honest the Tram Flap is a no no for me. Would like to hear from ladies who have had implants and LD reconstruction. I am 59 and a 36b cup so I have never been blessed with a big bust. Am a coward too hence no to the TF option. I have plenty of time to think about the options as I understand I have to wait 12 months from the end of radiotherapy before he will operate and that means November time. Love Sue<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=226891&AppID=21420&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Sue Ghttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/a0e56845c5e24bb7983b1c0cc1149ab2https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/sue_g/posts/effects-of-radiotherapy2009-04-11T11:54:16Z2009-04-11T11:54:16ZHi I am new to this but would welcome any thoughts on what I am going through at the mo. I had a mastectomy and full anxillary clearance in April 08 followed by 6 sessions of chemo and 13 sessions of radiotherapy which finished Nov 08. Except for the painful burning under my arm at first I have been feeling very well and in no pain. In March this year I have been feeling incresingly tired and have been in pain in my left &quot;breast&quot; under my arms and in my top left rib. My GP took a chest x ray and I am now waiting for a bone scan in the next couple of weeks. Has anyone had the same effects. Love Sue x x<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=226886&AppID=21420&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Sue Ghttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/a0e56845c5e24bb7983b1c0cc1149ab2
