Hi to everyone,
I have stage 4 breast cancer with extensive bone mets and just recently noticed a swelling in my forearm. At the same time I was getting twinges in my neck with certain movements. Secondary nurse told me to go to GP who diagnosed lymphodema in my arm and muscle strain in my neck which a physio should look at. I went to lyphodema lady who confirmed and put me in a stocking. But said she didnt know what the neck was. She referred me to physio who said neck wasnt muscular but that I had a visibke lump. She immediately called my nurse who referred to my consultant who said dont worry we'll look at it after bone scan.
All the nurses etc seemed to thing this lump had caused the lymhodema and it should be looked at seriously, has anyone else had this? Should i push for a scan or is it probably nothing?
Kind Regards
Maizie
Hi Maizie did you have lymph nodes removed, if they are saying it is caused by Lymphedema are they saying it could be a Seroma which is a collection of fluid underneath the skin from fluid that has nowhere to go, but I'd definitely push for scan, take care x
If you can dream it you can do it
