Hi all. Hope everyones doing ok !
Im 2 and a half weeks post lumpectomy and snb, and have been doing really well.
Results showed no spread to lymph nodes and im waiting on onco test to see if i need chemo as well as radiotherapy .
On friday i had a few pains in my breast but i assumed it was just healing.
Yesterday and today my breast is very swollen, and spilling over my bra, now ive got a muffin boob to match my muffin belly !!
Im ok otherwise , except for shooting pains at top outside of boob .
Is this normal ? Ive been massaging it but its not easing.
Thanks for listening
Contacted nurse yesterday and she doesnt think its anything to worry about.
No change in the swelling, and it feels like i have a half eaten doughnut under the skin
Im assuming thats scar tissue.
Keeping on with the massaging .
Oh went back to work today so im trying to keep busy... Just feel a bit iffy mentally
Fingers crossed then, sure you'll get there xx
Im sure i will.
Very sore last night when i went to bed, but tumour was deep.
Then had nightmare about my hair falling out ... Dont get onco results till next week !!
On the positive side i had a whole hour of reading my book uninterrupted during the night its the little things !!
