Thanks again everyone for your comments . My return to work went on although I'd only been at my desk an hour and I was ready for a nap!!!! I'm doing a phased return so only doing half days for the next week or so. Then I will be off again during my Radiotherapy ( mainly because I will have to travel from Bromsgrove ( Worcestershire ) to Coventry everyday for the treatment !!!) Hopefully, in time, the pain and stiffness in my arm will ease . Has anyone suffered any side effects from their Radiotherapy treatment ??? ... View more

Thank you everyone who replied . My operation went ok. A bit traumatic as I was last on the list and ended up staying overnight because I didn't come back from theatre until 7pm. I'm 3 weeks down the line, I have been told that It was in fact less than 2mm in size and the SNB came back clear so all I need now is some radiotherapy . I'm having some pain under my arm and down the arm to the elbow which I've been told is just nerve damage and should heal with time. This afternoon i'm going back to work ( just part time for now) and I'm looking forward to it. Has anyone else had problems after surgery with pain under the arm??? ... View more

Hi everybody. I have been recently diagnosed with DCIS and will be having my operation on the 28th October. I now realise that I did not ask enough questions at the time , and now all these appointments have arrived and I'm become slightly overwhelmed by it all . I seem to spend all my time telling everyone else that it's not as serious as it might have been, however, I know now ( the Internet is a wonderful thing!!) that there is a whole lot of stuff that could happen. I guess I'm just looking for someone to tell me that everything is going to be ok but deep down I know that life will never be same . Sorry I seem to be ranting , writing it down is a big help. If anyone is out there, thanks for listening !! ... View more
