Hi All
Can anybody tell me about your experience?
I had mastectomy of my right breast. Then had six sessions od chemotherapy along with 18 herceptin injection.
My left upper is still very stiff and my hands feels numb. The pain is just constant. I had chemo treatment on the left hand.
My right upper arm has a lump which keeps on swelling and the whole arm/hand is becoming numb, painful and weak. I have a pea size lump which has appeared on the chest well and it hurts with a burning sensation. I have been told it is normal.
The herceptin treatment is causing long term side effects, excruciating pain on both thighs just where i had all the herceptin injections.
During summer i cope better.
Is anybody expericing any of the side effects?
I am glad i did not have reconstruction. At least i can keep an eye on the lump bearing in my that i was diagnosed of Grade 3 cancer.
The cold weather does not help.
Hi Swas I'm one of the community champions here in this group and I'm sorry to hear you're struggling with these ongoing issues. You might want to give the Macmillan team a call to chat through these symptoms, you can reach them on 0800 808 0000 as they might have some ideas or advice on things to do to relieve the pain. It does sound from your post that you are already in touch with your medical team, but I'd suggest you continue to ask for support from them. Best wishes
