Hello and thank you for posting.

As you are only a week from surgery to remove lymph nodes, there will be various aches and pains as you heal.

Tissues and nerves will be meshing together and this causes different feelings in that area.

Do take some over-the-counter painkillers, but if you feel they aren't enough do talk to someone in your team for something stronger.

Take care and if you want to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline the number is Freephone 0808 800 4040. The lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
