Cording after sentinel lymph node removal

Hi,

I’ve just joined today - diagnosed with tubular breast cancer in October, lumpectomy & sentinel lymph nodes removed in November and now I seem to have under arm cording! What next ?  I have to start radiotherapy in January and I’d love to get this sorted before I start......any advice would be gratefully received!

    Hi Rachel,

    A very warm welcome to our forum. I am sorry to hear about your cording. I had a lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy 10 years ago and a double mastectomy 9 years ago for a second bout of breast cancer.  I had terrible cording under my arm after the first surgery.

    I totally agree with Marlyn. Do your exercises as often as you can.

    I hope that your radiotherapy goes well.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
