So good to hear you are doing well. I think a lot of ladies will appreciate you giving the encore link. Lymphoedema of the breast, trunk or arm is something that effects a lot of us to some degree after treatment. I know that I found it very difficult to access help for this.
I so agree with your thoughts about health after being diagnosed with BC. I have never felt as motivated to change some bad habits and start and persist with some good ones. I am almost 18 months out from diagnosis, almost 12 months since finishing active treatment, and I am still improving with my health and feeling SO much better for it. I wish that I had never had BC but I realise that I am probably now much healthier in general because of it. My lymphoedema seems to be going well since I lost a little weight, exercise regularly and keep up the massage. I hope that yours will become less of an issue for you soon! Keep looking after yourself, you deserve to feel as good as you can. Take care. Deanne xxx
