my affected arm

I think the damn trouble with the swelling of my left arm since radiation - noticed it from the day I finished my 25 radiation treatments I think it was - is not the swelling itself, albeit it terrifying that it might develop into lymphoedema, but the pain.
I keep having pain and it wears me down. Today it has been sore on the inside of my elbow.
Pretty sure my arm is swollen there today. Luckily so far the most my arm has increased in size is 1/2cm.
The possibility of this happening was so underplayed by the radiation oncologist. I wonder what the stats are for this happening. Mm... think they are low. But so far it has been one of the biggest impacts of my treatment. And I think I thought I was safe from this because I did not have surgery and did not have lymph nodes removed.

felt weird tonight

Was sitting in a restaurant tonight when suddenly I realised i felt weird. I felt dizzy, although I was sitting quite still, and I almost felt like I was seeing double, although I wasn't - if that makes any sense. I felt spaced out, really.
Think it's the herceptin.
Not sure how long the feeling lasted but maybe 10 minutes, maybe more.

had 3rd herceptin treatment today

.. and drove home feeling pretty headachy. Better now.
They battled to put the drip in too. Eventually the one nurse gave up and gave it to another to try.
And my arm which is 'high risk for lymphoedema" (The Lymph Lady's words today - but thank God don't have it), is sore. Ok, not a 10/10 sore but sporadically feels heavy and uncomfortable. Was a few mm thicker today around the elbow but not a big deal she said.
But still glad have decided to stay in tonight and chill.
Oh and interestingly, nurse told me to take tamoxifen last thing at night so that way minimise side effects she said. Mmm... gonna swop time tomorrow.
