Hi
I have 2 treatment options to consider.
Removal of the lymph nodes under my arm
Or radiotherapy.
I am looking for any information from people who have had either procedure.
Lymph nodes removal - did you get any arm lymodema.
Radiotherapy- has it wrecked your reconstruction.
Many thanks in advance, I am finding it hard to make a decision about which option is best for me.
Hi Blueberrymuffin and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and I was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2022, although I didn't have to make the decision you're being asked to make.
The online community is divided into different support groups and I can see that you've already found and joined the breast cancer group, which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support.
When you're ready to post there, you just start a new post in the same way as you did here. To save you typing this all out again you could copy and paste it into the new message in the breast cancer group.
It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
