Wanting to connect with people going down the cancer and treatment route 

I've had surgery on 22nd April to remove the cancer, they also had to remove sentinel node 

I had an appointment this week for the results, the cancer had spread to the lymph nodes and 11 nodes were removed 

I got lymphoedema and the swelling was huge under my arm 

They didn't want to drain it as they said it was an infection risk but a couple of days ago it burst and has been constantly leaking through my scar, I was terrified and rang my macmillan nurse, she said to keep the area clean and redress it 

I have to have radiotherapy and when I go back on 26th I will find out when it starts 

I want to let everyone know on here we are strong and together we can prop each other up
