Lovely to hear from you Deanne. You are so right when you say that motivation to change bad habits and todo all that we can to improve our health is so important, especially after a BC diagnosis. The Lymphoedema can take quite a while to settle I have been told but even with all the massaging I have some fluid in the truncal area near the already sore and swollen left breast. Thankfully it is getting better but quite honestly I think it's also going to be around for awhile too. I hope my Lymphoedema improves like you have said when the weight comes off. Do you sometimes feel a burning sensation within the pockets of fluid.? I do, and then it gets itchy. Drives me crazy sometimes. lol I hope afew ladies will check out the Encore program link because they do wonderful work helping ladies having gone through BC with an exercise program. I am really looking forward to the Hydrotherapy exercises next week when I begin the program. Today I went shopping for some new bathers and afew other things in readiness for next week, so I will let you know how it all goes.
Look after yourself and take care.
