Scared of what the future holds
Just home from hospital from post mastectomy surgery consultation, I am absolutely devastated as surgeon explained that all 12 lymph nodes removed at time of mastectomy had cancer present and I now have to go in for total lymph node clearance. To be followed by both chemotherapy and radiotherapy and

Mastectomy site
Hi mastectomy ladies just want to ask if there is ever a good time to let partner/husband in my case your operation site. I feel need to show, but want to do it right and not for just the sake of saying "look what ive been through" if this makes sense. Thank you.

Burning sensation in breast
Hi ladies booked for mastectomy on 5th June, I have had a bit of discomfort in my affected breast over the past couple of days, would describe it like a burning sensation has anyone else experienced this, is it anything I should worry about? Is it just coincidence, am I getting neurotic?
