Pain

Hi

I had first lumpectomy 12 years ago. I had full node removal, cos that was what the did. I told surgeon I had pain in my breast at one of the follow up visits,cos you had those every three months in those days.Doc said

" what's the problem with that your alive"

I called them my video doll lady. The pain was like someone stabbing me with a knitting needle.Doc said it was nerve pain and told me to rub the breast vigorously when it happened. I was a teacher, I'm not sure what the local authority would have said if I'd taken his advice in class. The affect of the roads take longer than we expect to heal too.

However if in doubt go back yo BC nurse. That is what they are there for.

my last op was in January 2018

I had 3 ops to get the little blighter Ian out

And here I am still with twinges and ouches 

Now at 62 maybe that’s what I should expect ?

But I think:

1. It’s a really soft tissue area - the breast

2. The surgeons probably did some weird manipulatiions

 3. There is some serious scar tissue 

4. My mind is still often in turmoil asking really silly questions it would never have asked if it wasn’t for the simple fact I got breast cancer

Breathe and if the aches pains become too much seek help
