I’m feeling a bit of a whimp. I had mct right breast in late October followed 6 weeks later by 14 aux nodes removed. I have still very swollen and have seroma from first op but what is getting me down is the constant ache in my arm. Am I expecting too much that it should be over by now? I do all the exercises and massage the arm.
Hi magsyuk and a very warm welcome to the online community
As the community is divided up into cancer specific groups could I recommend that you join the very friendly breast cancer group where you can ask questions, share experiences and get support. Nobody there will think that you are a wimp.
To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post questions after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
When you have a minute it would be useful if could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit 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.
