Good morning

Hello … I have been following the group for over 2 years now having been diagnosed with scleroderma and simultaneously breast cancer. I had a mastectomy, chemo etc and have returned to work .. teaching. . Two years on , where I thought I’d done a good job at keeping on track , keeping fit, I have developed lymphoedema in righ arm. The clinic are unsure if it’s scleroderma linked or post mastectomy ( I did have some nodes taken) . Has anyone been in same or similar boat?

thanks for listening and I wish you all comfort and deep breaths!!

Hi ,

My sister in law had breast cancer, had a mastectomy ,some lymph nodes removed under her armpit and then reconstructive surgery . She had lymphoedema also, she doesn’t have scleroderma,she was told it was because lymph nodes had been removed.

This probably isn’t much help but I thought I would reply.

Wishing you all the best
