I had mx and anc in jan and feb, this year, with an expander recon, done at the same time. It has been fully inflated now for over a month. It is very hard, and painful, just feels like i have a large melon strapped to my chest. It feels like i have a bra on thats 2 sizes too small, all the time. The pain and discumfort just never goes away. I dont go through a minute each day when i cant feel it. The pain seems to have gone into my shoulder now aswell, it burns all the time.
I am 9 days post 2nd fec, and its seems to have got worse since i started chemo, dont know whether it because my body is a little weaker due to chemo and i’m feeling it more, or that there is something sadly wrong with it.
I told my cons, at my last appt, about this, he doesnt seem too concerned, but then again it isnt him in agony 24-7. He doesnt seem to like it when things dont go to plan, and i feel abit like i’m being a nuisance, by complaining all the time. I am seeing him tomorrow, and i just feel like saying to him, i dont want this anymore, take it out, and can we re-think what we are going to do.
I have had a rotten time all the way through. What with infections, and swelling, and then being neutropenic, and having to go into hospital twice for iv antibiotics.
I just feel like i’m at the end of my tether and dont know what to do?
