Hello all, it’s been a while since I’ve been on here. I had my Lumpectomy and fully node clearance November 2024. I had stage 2 grade 2, that had spread to two nodes. I didn’t have clear margins so had to have another small surgery.
i finished chemo and Radiotherapy 18months ago and have been on Tamoxifen since I finished active treatment.
Recently I’ve had an awful itch on my armpit (surgery side), then it stopped and it moved to my scalp, now it’s moved to the side of my breast surgery side!!
Has anyone else ever had this?. The skin all looks clear, not dry, the itch is from within if that makes sense.
I’m scared it’s a reoccurrence, I’m due my annual Mammogram soon , which I find a struggle. I don’t want to waste anyone’s time by ringing but I’m scared.
TIA XXXXX
