Loud and proud

Off for a swim to help my shoulder, 2 weeks post op and chemo starts next week. Not hiding my battle scars #pinkhairdontcare we’ve got this!!

[Jennymary]

Enjoy your swim, don't do too much though so soon after surgery, and yes, be proud of your scars, on my first surgery anniversary I told everyone that my scars were 1 year old and they were having a party to celebrate, best of luck with chemo xxxxx

Managed one very dodgy length hahaha but lovely relax by the pool with a book, it may be my only holiday this year 🤞🏻

Well Done Trisha 🌸

Loving the hair 👩🏻‍🎤 keep your arm moving as much as you can, ‘walking’ it up the wall when you’re in the shower & it’s all warm is great & however far you can move/stretch it, always pull back by about 10% then you won’t do any damage.

Very Best Wishes

PS Black or Very Dark Polish for your Nails if you can while on Chemo x

Well I obviously did tooooo much today, even though it really wasn’t a lot but I’m in agony now. My boob feels bruisey even though it’s not

Hi Tricia, hope you've recovered from your swim, I've just looked at your last couple of posts and I see you've had complete node clearance, I'm not sure if it's only one arm (hopefully it was), and although I can't advise on chemo as I didn't have it one piece of advice I'd like to pass on is if I can is the arm without any nodes under NO circumstances nothing medical blood pressure, injections, drips into that arm due to the risk of lymphoedema, I'm sure you're chemo unit will be aware of this but it doesn't hurt to remind them, better safe than sorry, good luck next week xxxxx

Hi Jenny yes just the 1 arm, I’ve not seen a lymphedema nurse as yet but was told I’d be referred. They did tell me I’d never be able to have bloods, blood pressure etc on that arm. I’m struggling with cording at the min
