Hello Nyla. I had a lumpectomy and several nodes removed back in 2019. What painkillers are you on? I was given paracetamol. To be honest, the paracetamol didn't do much good. I noticed that the pain seemed to ease off quite a bit after 2 weeks. Anyway Nyla, welcome to the forum and maybe someone else can give you some advice about the pain. Sorry I couldn't be more help. x
Thank youou for getting back to me. I'm taking paracetamol too and some co codamol. I really though I would be OK but movement is so restricted and I'm so tired. Did you have to have radiotherapy after and how long did you wait?
Hi again Nyla. I was strongly advised to have radiotherapy by my Oncologist, but I refused it. This was a mistake on my part, because 15 months later the cancer came back. I am coping with it as best I can. There's no point in regretting things that can not be changed, but obviously I now realise that I should have had the radiotherapy to destroy the remaining cancer cells. Anyway, wishing you all the best on this journey than none of us signed up for, xx
