Hello Anna1975 and thank you for posting.

I'm sorry no one replied to your post yet but hopefully someone who experienced or are experiencing the same situation awill pop by soon with words of suppor and advice.

In the meantime, if you use the search engine from the left hand side of the blue banner at the top of this page and insert the term/s you're looking for, posts that might be relevant to your questions will come up - in case you haven't tried that yet.

The other thing I wanted to add is that if you ever feel like speaking to someone medically trained on the phone might help, our cancer nurses are a phone call away on this number: 0808 800 4040 and their line is open Monday - Friday, between 9 a.m - 5 p.m.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,

Hello Anna1975

i had an axillary node clearance on 3rd April along with lumpectomy.  They ended up taking lower nodes only, I had seven lymph nodes and two were positive.  In the ultrasound one node looked enlarged but it turned out to be two.  There are three levels of lymph nodes. It was sore and I had one drain in. Stayed one night in hospital.  The District Nurse came each day to check drain and took out (didn’t hurt) after 3 days.  I Did the exercises they gave me three times a day and three weeks later had complete range of movement back.  I used a good ointment Cetraben.  Scar is nice, soft and well healed.  

Sorry if rambling but as I’ve had the op wanted to reply.

If there is anything else I can help you with please just let me know.  

It does make us fed up but we need to do all we can to stop this cancer coming back.
