  • Hi Kazzie

    Just wanted to welcome you to the forum. Weekends can be a little quieter so it may take a little while for 'readers' to get back to you.  I do not have any personal knowledge regarding your query but wonder if it might be helpful for you to give one of the nurses on a call (mon to fri 9-5 free from UK landlines and some mobiles) on the number given on this page or place your post on the Ask the Nurses section of the forum (can take a few days for a response here as they have a heavy workload).  As I had a friend who had breast cancer  am wondering if you have a designated breast nurse as this used to be her first port of call when she had any questions related to her treatment and/or symptoms.  Wishing you all the very best.
