Hi Mancy and welcome to the forum. I've never heard of this but that's not to say that it isn't being done. Someone may be along soon who has knowledge of this. x

I'm sorry to hear about your surgery but could you explain why that stops you taking your blood pressure in one of your arms?

Because there are fewer lymph nodes in your armpit (they remove them to check whether the cancer has spread) and if you put a bP monitor on your upper arm it could damage what’s left. Cant have a flu jab or anything else in arm either.
