Hi, all
My treatment finished last year and the onc only sees me every 3 months now, which is great. Next appointment is in October.
Around January of this year I started to get swollen veins in my left leg (left side is the more affected side - mastectomy, lympho, humerus, both hips and also spine, sternum and ribs. My left ankle is more or less permanently swollen. At about the same time as the swollen veins, I started getting lesions on both legs but only a couple on right leg. The lower left leg has about 20 now, an increase, and I’ve got one on my face.
Last time at the hospital I pointed all this out and was told I had varicose veins (what??!!) and the lesions were nothing to worry about. I’d like to hear them say that if they had lesiony legs and fizzog! Eventually went to GP and she said the lesions were infected and gave me cortisone cream, which I think is helping a bit.
Anybody else had these symptoms? It all just seems never-ending sometimes, doesn’t it
Good luck to us all.
