Just though i'd add a little update

They have knocked 3 days off ......I was having this done for 6 weeks as they wanted to do my neck area for an extra week, so cos the rads in that area has been intense they gave me back 3 day whoop whoop

Aloe Vera plant has been so handy.


Lorraine, yes were have spoken before i used to have urns either side of my name

Hi Julie


well, the number of lymph nodes was the other surprise!


you were very lucky it was found when it was!



everything is fine with me ................. I didn't have any further treatment

........ I have about a 2 to 5% chance of recurrence, which Tamoxifen would reduce to 1-2½% risk. With a 1% risk of developing other problems as a result of being on Tamoxifen ........ everyone decided it was 6 of one, half-a-dozen of the other

....... and agreed it wouldn't really make any difference if I did not take it.


I also now have about 178% arm mobility back ....... maximum is 180%

Still have to work on arm strength ........ which is proving a little difficult as I have a rotator cuff problem on that arm ...... so weight lifting is not that comfortable!


Take care of yourself!

Hi Sylvia

It was wasn't it though they did tell me in the beginning it was a 10 x 10......but the funny thing is i was more shocked at the amount of lymph nodes it was in than the length of the lump.

Hope all is well your end

That was one big lump Julie!


Hope the RT has gone well, and that you have not had too many problems with it ....... you must be close to finishing it now.

Have only just seen this.

Hope everything has been going well for you since the 9th January.

Amd that the radiotherapy is a complete success, witout too many side-effects.

Take it easy and look after yourself.
