It is now just over 2 years since my auxiliary node op my arm still aches does it ever go away?
Hi magsyuk
I'm the same 2 years down the line, nearly 3 I had full clearance and its still achy and tender. Mention it when I go for mammograms but they just say its normal. I think it's improved a little bit and it's not so numb, but it can feel different on different days ! If your over worried speak to your team.
