Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Hi my name is and i was diagnosed with breast cancer in Aug/Sept. They recommended that i have a masectomy even though i had told them that that was not on. Ok so it had to be done. In October i had my breast removed and then went back to see the surgeon. The next step was to see the oncologist and she recommended Chemo. The long and short of it is that they injected a substance called epi Rubin (excuse the spelling). I have had 3 chemo treatments and have discovered a lump in my arm above the area where they placed the drip. I went back to the clinic and they told me that it was the side effects of the E.R. and that my veins and something else was affected. the pain is horrid and there all the time. They told me it doesnt go away and that i have to have a pic put in. Is there anyone else who has had the same problem and can you tell me if they run a tube up my arm into my heart if this will affect my heart in the same way. I would ask the oncologist but its Christmas and there is noome aroung. My next treatment is on the 17th Jan and am a little worried. Y would so appreciate some feedback and thank you for taking the time to read this letter blossom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
