A new cancer, second time

Sorry to hear you are in the loop again.... Its not surprising with all you have going on.... they reckon cancer is caused by stress.  So forget everything else - the divorce others can act on your behalf; work - takes your mind off the cancer, but make sure work know and they will surely put things in place for you; and new partner has to be worth their weight in gold and help you through this.  So good luck.  Try some Melatonin helps with sleep, stress and cancer 

Hi Fitzgerald67, sorry to hear you have so much going on. No wonder you are devasted. As Anji has said others can act on your behalf about your divorce. Let work know what’s happening so they can make arrangements and help you out to try and make things easier. I had just over 3 months off and then came back at a gentle pace. Chemo is doable and depending on your results will depend on whether chemo is beneficial for you. I had an axillary clearance had had my lymph nodes removed. So far a year on all is good and I have had no swelling. I use my arm a normally as possible and I did all the exercises they gave me after my 2 ops as I was determined to keep things mobile and avoid lymphoedema if possible. Whilst it can develop at anything (from what I understand) I’m hoping that keeping mobile will prevent this. 
It’s good to chat on the forum and get advice and support. If you have any questions don’t be worried about speaking to your medical team, they are there to help. 
Wishing you all the best
