Hiya silver just taught id reply to your post to hopefully ease your fears slighty i had exactly the same thing happen to me i had mastectomy on my left side but its my right side i keep having trouble with i found a swelling in my armpit and my shoulder on my good side had myself convinced that the cancer was back but i was told it could be the side effects of the arimidex or since my mastectomy im lopsided still waiting on reduction and lift and that could be causing the swelling the xtra weight on that side i got an ultrasound nothing showed up at all  i hope everything works out for you let me know how you get on xx

Thank you for replying, you understand how I'm feeling! I have appointment next Wed at the breast clinic I thought I was over that for a while. Hopefully it is the Anastrazole, they look like tiny tablets but are a powerful drug.

Fingers crossed! I too feel lopsided and I was going to talk to the Consultant about maybe having a reduction. 
I have an appointment to have some pretty bras fitted tomorrow I haven't even had a prothesis yet, just the one they give you after the op. 
I will let you know the outcome.

Yep i understand how your feeling your right about the arimidex being a powerful drug i get all sorts of side effects sore throat headache but mainly joint pain knees hip and in my back i was on tamoxifen at first but was switched when i had my overies removed i still have the swelling in my armpit it never went away completely but i dont notice it as much now that i know its nothing to worry about i even found a lump in my mastectomy scar that scared the life out of me but it turned out to just be scar tissue i suppose every ache and pain now its only natural for us to think the worst my sister had breast cancer 14 years ago she said the fear eases with time lets hope so anyway i hope everything goes well for you nxt wednesday take care xx

Hiya silverdays hope everything goes ok for you today at the breast clinic keeping everything crossed for you that you get good news xx
