Had a recurrent in November, underwent full mastectomy,I'm not a big girl, always been a b cup.
I have always been active and fit, gym workout daily and work as a landscape gardener.
Since surgery feel tired, have enlarged lymph nodes in other arm pit, still have swelling and tightness, pain in rib cage, shortness of breath on surgery side. Have had CT and because came back clear have been discharged. Beginning to feel alone, I know my body and feel something isn't right. Or is it all in my head!!!?
I am so sorry to hear what your going through I am having mastectomy tomorrow on my left breast
Wishing you all the best, and a speedy recovery.
Hugs being sent.
Sending you very best wishes! We’re all different so don’t assume the worst. I really wish you well xxx
Thank you for your reply, my mastectomy was due to a recurrent, was unable to be have RT, due to having it last time, apparently you can't have it again in the same area. I'll keep soldiering on, I know there are others out there going through a lot more.
wishing you well.
