I don’t have this but would be interested to know the symptoms felt before you were diagnosed with it.

Thanks for the reply. I still get pins and needles on my mastectomy arm but no pain. I will ask my oncologist about it when I see him next week.

Hi Sandra I don't think cancer of the plexus is common ..after 2 years of physio for trapped nerve etc I was sent to breast consultant and he said radiotherapy damage ..pain got worse I lost use if my hand and arm .was sent to a oncologist she knew what it was straight away ..she was cross that nobody had done a scan of the plexus .had scan and there was cancer ..I was so upset that I had been missed but she is great ..thank God I went to her otherwise it would have spread. I also have a lesion on the T3 but touch wood has not spread to organs ..I know there is no cure but keeping under control will hopefully give me time ..just cross I have lost use of my hand and arm because it was left ..can't dwell on it just have my trust in doctors now

Best wishes
