I had left breast lumpectomy & 3 lymph nodes removed in the armpit 5 weeks ago and then another lumpectomy 5 days ago, as needed more of a clear margin.  Last 2 days ive been feeling sick & dizzy with a pain down the left hand side of my neck, i never got this after the first surgery, is this normal.

  • Hi, so sorry but I think you urgently need to ask for a review, speak to your team/BCN/surgeon.

    hope you get an answer and help

  • Moomy is right. No pain that bad is not normal. It feels bit early for nerve pain. Get on the phone now. BC nurses finish at 4.30. Alternative is surgical assessment. If you’ve had chemo you should also have an emergency number you can ring on a card. 

    Gentle hug
