	RE: Itchy Scalp By 4jordanb, 6 months ago Forum Effects on your body

	@beachwalkerdeb I’m sorry to hear you are experiencing this, too. Thanks for sharing this insight into Gilda’s club. Nights and in person can be tricky for me as well due to scheduling around young ch...

	Hi - I am about a year out also and doing well medically also, but agree with the mental side and anxiety. I've never had anxiety before, so this is new to me. I've tried the Tuesday calls through Gi...

	Hey so Gilda’s Club has a support group for BC survivors who aren’t in active treatment (they also have one for active treatment) but the club has been so great to me these last couple months. I think...
	Local support groups By ddhill1, 6 months ago Forum Talking About Cancer
	I’m a year+ post-op, ongoing endocrine therapy. Medically speaking, I am doing okay. Emotionally, not so well. My medical anxiety is significantly heightened following my mom’s death from cancer (not ...
	RE: Nerve pain By Iamasurvivor, 6 months ago Forum Forum
	I’m sorry to hear this. I did not have elbow pain from radiation. Are you doing any other exercises that could be causing it or taking any other medications that could be causing it? Were you in an ...
	RE: Nerve pain By Kpitzer02, 6 months ago Forum Forum
	I did not have elbow pain, but have had nerve pain on the right leg and sciatic pain. I am still doing PT for the issues on my right side from radiation. Radiation does a lot more damage, I feel, lo...

	Decades ago in the dark ages (1992) I had some problems with this after 29 nodes removed with my first round of breast cancer. Fortunately a very good nurse told me an exercise to do to start with an...
	RE: Cording (Axillary Web Syndrome) By janedoe7, 6 months ago Forum Effects on your body
	I personally had to do PT for my cording before radiation. Your arms are above your head during radiation, and I couldn’t have gotten my left arm in place without therapy first. I also couldn’t have p...
	RE: Cording (Axillary Web Syndrome) By Nope, 6 months ago Forum Effects on your body
	Thanks you all for your insight, greatly appreciate it. It sounds like PT is definitely in my future. I was just scheduled for my pre radiation treatment scans so PT will be on the back burner. For n...

	RE: Cording (Axillary Web Syndrome) By janedoe7, 6 months ago Forum Effects on your body
	Cording is so painful! I'm sorry you're dealing with it. My timeline was exactly the same as yours. I'd been cautioned that it could happen, so I knew immediately what it was and jumped to treat it ri...
