Hello,
I was diagnosed with TNBC stage 2 grade 3 and start my chemo on the 4th November. Recently it’s felt as though someone is stabbing my lump and it has really bad stinging spasms. Nurse said it could be because I’m due on, but it hurts so much. I have now noticed that I have puckering and orange peel skin (which I didn’t have before) is this just how it goes and the chemo will make it better? Has anyone had the pain? I’ve tried taking painkillers and ibuleve gel but it’s not touching it. I don’t have a temp and it’s not red at all.
Hi CLK81 sorry to hear about the challenges you are having.
This New to Community area is like our reception desk where we look to try and direct you to the best part of the Community for people to get support…… so most people tend to move on from this area.
But I do see that you have already joined and been posting in our dedicated……
……and our
…..support groups.
These groups would be the best places to talk to others with a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.
Why not copy and paste the text from this post into your new post in the groups.
As always in these situations you can always call your Cancer Specialist Nurse/Key Worker for advice.
((hugs))
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
