Morning all, 

I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer last March and had my operation of a lumpectomy, reconstruction and lift in April last year.  I also had 3 lymph nodes removed from the left side.  

I have since had Chemo and radio therapy and now have the bone infusions every 6 months as the treatment has left my bones very brittle.  I have numbness in my finger tips and toes and both of my big toes have since been infected.  

What I am experiencing now is, in the last 2 weeks I have been getting a lot of tenderness around where the lymph nodes were removed, I cant reach up and put my hand/arm above my head like I have been doing.  Also, I have been getting a lot of tenderness around the left breast, mainly at the top.  It feels bruised and sore and I am finding it very hard to lay on my left side again.  I havent contacted anyone as I am too frightened again.  If anyone has any advice or has expireced anything similar I would be very greatful for the chat.  

Many thanks all x
