Oh seaspirit44 hope its a blip and not serious and things can be done to help xx

Yay LondonLass!!! So so pleased, great results! Hope more reassurance soon re enlarged heart, good that it doesn’t seem like they’re too concerned. You must be so relieved, such a worrying few weeks for you. Lots to love, HFxx

Many’s thanks for all the info, Tired Minion.

I think my arm is okay so I don’t know if a sleeve would help me.  Mine is mainly in the breast and under the armpit.

I have got a GP phone call tonight about something else so if I get chance I will raise it on the call.

but I will also try your suggestions above.

thanks so much for taking the time out to advise.

you keep going too! We will get there in the end x

I’m same as you gander not started treatment yet I’ve had a wig for a few years due having shit hair through having Crohn’s disease. But I have just dyed my hair a bright pink purple colour not me at all but though what the hell might as well be bold till I lose it xx

Not a problem. Appreciate everyone is different but this tends to be standard treatment for puffiness! My arm is ok too, the sleeve is to stop fluid pooling where it shouldn't. Make sure you have a good fitting bra too as this helps. Not sure if your GP would be specialised enough for you. Do you have access to physio or speak to your breast care nurse. Afriad it won't go on its own so you may need a bit of help. X

Night night Fruit Loops, sleep well and stay safe,

 plenty of sleepy fairy dust for all who wish

 hugs xxx

Hope everyone sleeps well…Wig place and clinic tomorrow, I bet I dream of wigs flying all over the place, that’s if I get any sleep at all  Xxx

Wig fitting is not too bad at all. Sleep well 

Thank you all for your support as always. I have a home monitor and freak out just doing that! There are reasons. First is that I am at risk of lymphoedema in both arms having had bilateral axillary clearance. Second is from a really horrible hospital experience involving BP and some very insensitive nurses and doctors. It is part of my PTSD and I have processed it with guided EMDR, but it is till there and gets triggered easily. I feel better about the whole thing now having spoken to my very sensible and kind GP who is taking control. Xxx
