Should I do chest wall rads?

Hi. I am using Anastrozole. The plan covers the generic. I think I have used the brand once or two when the pharmacy (Walgreens) does not have the generic. Yes, hands hurt the most. Writing and functions done with hands are the ones most affected. Anyway, arthritis gets better as the day moves on and I do more exercise. I sometimes ask myself if this arthritis is reversible when I stop the pill. I don't think so, once the damage is done to joints.

Since my MX was on the right side, I still have the puffiness and numbness on the underarm of my right arm. If the nerves were severed, I don't know we can recover full sensation in the area. I think surgeons should be more careful and do the excision without cutting the nerves to areas they are not cutting away. In my right underarm I still have a piece of skin folded like a twist where the BS did the sentinel biopsy. I know they have many surgeries in a day but at least, they should treat us not like piece of meat but as humans.

There is also trunk lymphedema. Remember we have lymph nodes all around our bodies. If communication and drainage is disturbed, lymphedema will form. In your case or mine, since we have the remaining nodes under our arm, we may have seroma. However, radiation around armpit may damage too the lymph nodes in the region. I am exposed to lymphedema because I have to move around with walkers for around four months and I still using a cane because of my foot fracture. You are because you have an additional 40 percent of developing lymphedema due to RT to the 6 percent of the SNB. Be vigilant; the intramammary and the sub and supraclavial nodes are affected during irradiation.

Well, I 'll leave you now. I have to go to bank, and health insurance cause I did not receive the card and I have two medical appointments next week and one in this week. Take care, God bless you.
