Question

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the welcome. My sister was diagnosed almost 3 years ago, had

lumpectomy, chemo and radiation, followed by Tamoxafen. She was taken off the

Tamoxafen after about 18 months...she had a thickening of the uterus - they did

a hysterectomy and tests, thank God, showed there was no cancer there. She has

suffered from horrendous hot flushes and has been taken off a lot of her

medication because of this. Just recently she has started having quite severe

pain in her affected breast - to the point where she rang the surgeon who

operated (a good surgeon, but no people skills whatsoever and she really didn't

like him at all, so for her to phone him, tells me she is in considerable pain!)

He told her the pain would only be the scar tissue and she would have to learn

to live with it - has anyone else had an experience like this please. I live

2000 km from my sister so am unable to do much physically - only offer advice

and comfort via the phone, although I am going to Melbourne for 2 months from

the 9th December. If anyone can shed any light on this for me I would be very

grateful.

Thankyou

June
