Hello Amandina,

Welcome to Cancer Chat and thank you for sharing your story and your results with us. I hope you are recovering well from the operation and that the bruising and swelling are getting better every day.

If you have questions following your breast cancer surgery, you are welcome to phone the Cancer Research UK nurses on freephone 0808 800 4040. The lines are open from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. They will be happy to answer any questions that you have.

I hope your radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatments go well. We have some information on our website on radiotherapy for breast cancer which you can read here and you can also find out more about chemotherapy here. But as nothing replaces talking to others who have been through the same, I hope you will hear from some of our lovely members who have also been diagnosed with breast cancer and who may be further along with treatment. I am sure they will have a lot to share about their experience with you.

Wishing you a speedy recovery from the surgery, Amandina.

Best wishes,

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
