Axillary Lymph Node Dissection
Procedure or Surgery
surgery took me about 6 or 7 weeks to heal, I also had a large tumor in my uterus, the size of a bowling ball, and my surgeon had removed that at the time he removed my breast and lymph nodes.
External radiation
Radiation
I have 10 more treatments to go as of today, out of 33 total, so far it has been painless for the most part. I have just a slight sunburn like sensation, not enough to even worry about. I am extremely tired at times, but that is to be expected.
