Survived the masectomy surgery and that is now fluid free and apart from some redness and tightness is healing quite well. I have the movement back in my arm  after the axillary node clearance. Cancer was found in 2 lymph nodes under my arm. I have seen the Oncologist who has talked me through the first stage of  treatment, 6 sessions of chemo starting in 2/3 weeks. There are 2 enlarged nodes in my chest wall and a few days ago I had flu type symptoms and it's left me with a bad cough , feels like upper respiratory. Although Doctor thought I may have picked up a virus I'm terrified that the cancer has spread to my lungs and am living in fear. Not sleeping as the cough is waking me. 
oh to be a well person again!
