I had an axillary clearance - nodes out under right armpit - on 8th April, following a WLE/SNB on 14th March where 2 of the 3 nodes taken out for biopsy were flecked with cancer. It's now a week and two days later and my right arm feels like it is being gripped by Edward Scissorhands and I have this twitching burning feeling every so often that really hurts. I am back taking the cocodomol for pain relief to try and take the edge off of it, and I am just hoping that it gets better and doesn't stay like this forever!
Two weeks more to wait for the results of the node clearance and it drives me crazy at times - of course I'm hoping that the results will be completely negative but the silly thing is then all of this pain will be 'for nothing' won't it? Still, I have slowly come round to the idea that actually I am willing to go through anything to stay alive for as long as I possibly can and when I read about some of the people on this site who have so much worse to go through, it humbles me into survival mode.
Much love to everyone going through this x
