@@irenejose1696 I’m taking Anastrozole(Arimidex) . I started taking this from 2/1/22 so it’s almost a year. I don’t have any body pain but whenever I stand up or sit down my knees crack. It gets embarrassing when the room is quiet. The doctor said itwas a side effect. My right thumb joint started to feel stiff in October . It hurts when I turn a knob or dial and especially when I try to unscrew a pet bottle top. Sometimes it aches but a lot of times I don’t notice it. My friend is taking the same medication and she has knee pain. But this medication upsets my stomach (my friend said she gets upset stomach too)so I take stomach medication with it. Bone and joint pain seems to be the most common side effect from the Aromatase Inhibitors. I wish you well.

thank you so much for the well organized video .. my surgery is in three days!! This really helps!

Glad to hear we can help! Would you be interested in participating in an interview to help us improve our products? It will consist of us showing you a sample Yerbba breast cancer report and you sharing your thoughts and opinions. Your input would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for discussing these possible affects after surgery..hopefully few patients experience them. I experienced unfortunately 3 of the possible after affects of breast surgery..reduced range of motion..more so after additional surgery to remove tissue to chest wall which affected the tendons under my arm..seroma lasting 6 months with weekly aspirations, and multiple infections.. i understand this was probably unusual for several to occur, so please dont worry since i came through all of them..

Thank you for sharing your experience. It's unfortunate that you experienced several of these side effects, such as reduced range of motion, seroma, and infections. Your sharing your story can help others feel less alone.

I side affect that was never discussed or seen in any of my research before my lumpectomy was cording ( axillary webbing). I started having pain in my bisep then 2 weeks later the cording. Please talk about that in future videos

The whole thing gives me the creeps.ive owned snakes and spiders for many years and they dont give me the creeps .

Hi Dr. Griggs, thank you so much for your informative videos. I’m a PR/ER+, HER2-, Mammaprint low, SET2,3 Low currently on neoadjuvant endocrine therapy trial (less than a month) but will likely switch to surgery due to a SET2,3 low score. I have one confirmed positive lymph node and another suspicions node from MRI. I’m seeing the surgeon in a couple of days but her nurses have told me that I’m not a sentinel node dissection candidate and this doctor will go with the ALND. What’s the typical number of lymph nodes that will be dissected with clinically 1-2 confirmed positive nodes? I’m very scared of the lymphedema and how it may affect my life. Should I fight the doctor if she wants to take out >10 nodes or just go with it to be safe than sorry? Wouldn’t radiation get rid of the residuals if any is still left after surgery and chemo?

@yerbba

Such great questions. We don't actually ever know how many lymph nodes are in a person's axillary fat pad until the pathologist tells us. With one positive lymph node, the surgeon will usually do a level 1/2 dissection. I've seen as few as 4 lymph nodes and as many as 45! The risk of lymphedema does not appear to increase directly with the number of lymph nodes. I've had people who have dozens of lymph nodes never get lymphedema (the majority of people actually). Radiation therapy for the breast and lymph node areas works best when as much disease in the area can be removed.

I had lumpectomy and sentinel biopsy 13 days ago. The first 5 days after surgery, my pain is mild, the second week it became very painful (burning pain) on my armpit, and spreads to my arm and shoulder blade, no swelling but painful to touch. Is this normal side effects?

Sorry to hear that you're having pain. It is not uncommon that some fluid can build us in the area where tissue was removed. In my patients with these types of symptoms, removal of the fluid through a very thin needle can be done in your surgeon's office. I would also advice a patient of mine to see the surgeon to make sure that there's no infection.

I had 2 nodes removed...sentinel and axillary. My arm movements and strength is normal. IDK if it was due to a good surgery or busy lifestyle.

10 yrs after my lumpectomy I developed a severe infection in my breast right directly under my incision. I ended up going to the ER & had to stay for 3 days IV antibiotics (U of M) after so many tests they decided it was cellulitis - went home with a 3 week supply of Oral antibiotics (Bactrim) I still have a pencil eraser size hole - when I push Down on the swollen area it Iì

It will bleed. I was surprised to still have issues after 10 years you can still have breast surgery issues - so never stop being extra careful with incision area & do not wait to go to ER go right away.

Dear Juanita, These complications become part of the breast cancer journey. So wishing this hadn't happened to you. Just know that it's not from anything you've done or even something that happened during your original surgery.

I can’t believe something like that could happen. There’s so much the doctors don’t tell us .

Doc, I am about to undergo a chemotherapy this coming week march 20-26, 2022 for a stage Ii breast cancer. My Her2 result is positive, it is alright?

Sometimes people will ask me if it would be "better" if the tumor were different in some way. While we can understand the question, the key thing is to know that your treatment will be guided by the actual stage and biology of the treatment. There are good treatments directed at tumors that are HER2-positive.

After my surgery my arm move good,after 6 month it's starting difficult to move up and down

Stage 3 double mastectomy and I have had bad pain from lympademia. My arm hurts daily😢

@yerbba

Ай бұрын

We're sorry to hear about the pain you're experiencing due to lymphedema following your double mastectomy. It's important to discuss this ongoing pain with your healthcare provider, as there are therapies and treatments that can help manage lymphedema and alleviate discomfort. You may also find our video on lymphedema to be helpful: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pKutkpKalZeWj6g.html.

Is there a time limit for hematoma to improve after mastectomy? It’s been 5 weeks and edema is still the same….

@yerbba

2 ай бұрын

Five weeks is still within the window of normal. The body takes a long time to clear up the blood in a hematoma. Don't give up hope. If you are having pain or other symptoms, reach out to your medical team to let them know.

when lymphedema come means breast cancer was totally gone/cure?
