looks like some swelling on my mx side, had some nodules removed last sept then a lump removed in feb, now have lung mets and in chemo and herceptin indefiently, but i have some swelling appeared on the mx side, a bit worried about it has anybody else had this, i showed it to my onc and she said it could be lymphodema or a blood clot but she said we will see when you have another scan in july, but i am not sure if i want to wait that long.
Can anyone please help me with advice about my wound, my infected silicone was removed Feb.2012. Since then have been managing the wound going for dressing at the nhs walking center.But is seems there is a small hole and is not closing up. Am worried have gone back to see my bc nurse, and l was told that it will close up with time,am getting worried is getting too long. Has anyone gone through this before?
Hi Boyz,
Sorry you’re having such a difficult time. I think you need to be checked out before July. There are could be lots of different reason for the fluid but I really think you should chase this up with you oncologist to give you peace of mind.
I had a pleural effusion and I don’t want to worry you un necessary because it could be lymphodema or because of your wound. But because you have lungs mets it needs to be adressed soon as.
I hope you are able to get some answers soon as the it unreasonable to deal with any more stress than you already have.
Please let me know how you get on and fingers and everything crossed you get this sort out quickly.
Love
