SLNB recovery stories pls

Hi Remlap,

I had my WLE on the back of my right shoulder in 2021. The SNLB was taken from my right armpit and both incisions were closed with surgical glue. I took off the following day from work and returned the day after to my very physical job with no restrictions other than no heavy lifting. I experienced remarkably little pain or discomfort other than sharp pain that coincided with raising my right arm above shoulder level. After the first time I did not do it again, but that pain lessened and diminished over the course of a week or two. Very quick healing of the wounds. I was subsequently diagnosed Stage 3 and started immunotherapy with Pembrolizumab (Keytruda). Now 3.5 years NDE and cancer-free. All the best to you.

Hi Remlap83 

I had a WLE on my upper left arm and SLNB in my left armpit.

I had mild pain in both sites but nothing that a combination of paracetamol and ibuprofen for a few days afterwards couldn't keep on top of.

By the time I went for my results and check-up two weeks later, I had full mobility again. 

Hope it goes well for you
