45. Thank you so much ❤️ and I hope so much you never have a recurrence 🤗 I've actually already

Been to physical therapy, my doctor has been right on top of things and no lymphedema but this swelling in the left breast is sure taking it’s sweet time to resolve. I’m doing the lymphatic massages but I guess it’s just going to take more time.

Five weeks tomorrow so maybe I don’t need to panic too much yet about the swelling, maybe it will resolve in a few more weeks. It’s already much better than it was three weeks ago…at two weeks past surgery I had a block of concrete as a breast and I seriously wondered if the blood supply could function in such a grossly swollen piece of tissue. Now it’s feeling like regular flesh again, although still heavier and more swollen than I would like. So I’m telling myself not to worry just yet, let my body have a few more weeks to heal.

I’m sorry you had to go through chemo. Of everything I’ve read up on, that seemed the scariest. So I was relieved when the test showed less than a one percent benefit from chemo. No way they will recommend chemo with that low a benefit because the risks outweigh it. I mean I will wait to hear what my medical oncologist has to say, but there’s no way I could see the doctor recommending chemo.

I hope you never have to go through anything that awful ever again.

I hope you have a good Thanksgiving! I’m glad you beat the cancer. 🤗
