Hi Alex I have only been on cape for 6 weeks and am having a break and a scan to see if it's working. I have no experience of post op pain but I have had severe fatigue, sickness, dry mouth and constipation. I usually feel a bit better after a couple of days of my days off but it doesn't always last and the symptoms are still there, just not so bad. I've muscle weakness (finding it hard to cuddle my bouncing 6 month old grandson) and peripheral neuropathy in my feet which I had a bit before I started cape. This is my experience but everyone is different. I just looked up Velindre and they seem like they might be the right place to give you some answers. Have you tried contacting the breast care nurses on this website. They should be able to give you some advice. You feel so isolated and the hospital doesn't always help much. Some hospitals like mine have a secondary breast care nurse but many don't. Hugs to both of you Bon xx
