Gosh thinking you may have breast cancer then dont delay. I did thinking  it waa nothing maybe a sore from wearing a bad bra but omg  went hospital to learn i had cancer. I can only say if in doubt get it checked please. Before it spreads. I am now dealing with b cancer in bith breasts and in the underarms. I wish i had done something before.

Ive had surgery and all removed but oh it hurts. I know it will take time abd need to take it easy.

Its been 7 weeks since surgery and still cannot sleep on my side. Lying on my back is causing my back to hurt. Any suggestions folks?

Also i can sleep 3 or 4 hrs in the night. Is that common?

Im still not able to placr more than a light fleece on my chest at night. Cannot have a quilt as too heavy... is that common too? 

Sorry im banging away here but just joined and cannot sleep!

Gosh i admire how some of you cope. Any advise is welcome... i will try anything to try and get 7 hrd good sleep lol.

Oh and my tummy is bloated still. It looks lke trapped air. Is that normal? Is there anything i can do to clear it!

Thanks. 

  • Hi again , this is great advise.

    As for your questions the best place to ask these would be in our dedicated Breast cancer group as this is a good place to connect with patients walking the same cancer journey.

    To join a group just click on the Breast cancer link above then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens.

    You can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘New Thread’ or hit the box with the X on the top right (phones), you could just copy and paste the text from this your first post. You can also join in with existing ‘Discussions’ by clicking on 'reply'. 

    ((hugs))
