Hi Madcavs, sorry you’re having a hard time, I think I would ring and ask their advice, 10th June is quite a while. Could it be the "cording " that they warn you about on the exercise sheet? Sorry I don’t have any personal experience of lymphodema but I think I’d see your BC nurse or GP. Good luck! X

HI

 

I have an WLE on 22 May, my arm now aches, after 3 sentinel nodes removed.

 

I am concerned now about all the worry about cording etc., and now concerned with all the general chatter about radiotherapy and the longer term health results.

 

Regards
