I had breast cancer in 2003 & had my lymph nodes removed, following this, one of the stitches did not disolve & the body has put a web around it which is getting bigger, it has been tested & is okay. my question is has anybody else got this problem.i find it very uncomfortable it also restricts what i do, if i go to aquafit which i love it plays it up for a while afterwards also to stretch my arm or carry anything heavy makes it hurt. the consultant at breast clinic said it could affect my reconstruction if i have it removed, i had a reconstruction from my tummy. i need advice as to where igo from here i cannot be the only one.
bump!
