I was diagnosed in August 2021 with second stage breast cancer, after surgery, chemo and radio I have been clear for almost a year. Does anyone else have scar tissue in the raider of the breast that ache's at times?
Hi, I also had surgery in August 2921 and I have quite a few aches and pains and swellings. There are some nights I cannot sleep on the side I had surgery on, but other nights it's fine. I recently had my 2nd annual check and the consultant was quite happy but yes, it's definitely not back to normal. Best wishes
Yes, I agree there are some nights it aches too much to sleep on that side too. Second review is in August so we will see what is said when I ask questions. Thank you for sharing
Thankyou, good to know others are experiencing the same thing
