Hi , I had breast surgery 2 weeks ago to remove cancer lump and lymp nodes . I feel like it's not improving the soreness and pain, does anyone else know how long it usually takes to start to feel better
Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us.
Have you talked with your breast cancer specialist nurse as it’s always good to keep them informed.
A cancer diagnosis can bring a lot of stress, confusion and questions but talking with people who are on the same journey can help a lot.
Can I direct you to this link to our very supportive Breast cancer group as this will open up your concerns to a wider audience who know exactly what you are going through at the moment.
Just follow the green link I have created then hit the ‘Join This Group’ tab just under the main group name, then go to the 'Start a Discussion' tab and set up your very own Discussion and introduce yourself to the group and ask your questions.
All the very best.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
