Dear Deanne,

so pleased to hear your arm has gone down and you can wear your wedding rings again. Envious of the holiday plans too!

Just remember as I must too, to wear the garment when flying. Try not to do too much as you pack 7/or clean pre holiday.

I will be having 3 days in Queensland with a friend which I am looking forward to to after hectic time leading to divorce and my talk for Sydney Alliance on 30th October re need for public services in northern sydney.

Anyone interested in lymphoedema and palliative care please try to come to Chatswood. Register at www.sydneyalliance.org.au/north

Thank you huny that is really luvly of you.

I am sure we will have the best time.

The best thing to come from getting BC is meeting my BCNA Beastie and all you beautiful and very pink sisters on this website.  You are the best.

Stay in touch

Luv today, tomorrow and always, Mich xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

I am on facebook if you want to find me - Michele White with pic of hubby and me and one of my beautiful dog smiling :)

Thanks Deanne huny it was lovely to hear from you even if not under best of circumstances but I hope you can get on top of it all.

My health is still very much up and down so I keep getting knocked down with one thing or another but always manage to bounce back as I always do. It will be my 3 year anniversary since diagnosis on 25th November while I am away.  It will also be Mel's 3 year anniversary since her double mastectomy while we are away so we both have something to celebrate xo 

I wont be buying any new sleeve this time and will just have to make do with what I have but I do have a choice of three.  The very expensive one I have is useless unfortunately.  That one came all the way from Germany.  I will make do this time and keep everything crossed it is all good.

Keep everything crossed nothing stands in my way of enjoying this very special holiday with my BCNA Beastie.  We will meet each other in Singapore with her coming from Sydney and me from Perth.  Spend 2 days in Singapore and then travel on to Phuket where we will work in an orphanage over there and also get to spend some great quality time together and I am sure have plenty of laughs.  I am willing this bloody body of mine to not let me down and let me enjoy a few weeks without any dramas.  Currently I am dealing with a 1.5cm gallstone that is giving me hell. 

You get yourself all better huny and I hope you can stay that way.

Luv always, Mich xoxoxooxoxox

Great comments Deanne.  I also was lucky to get great treatment and brought it under control fairly quickly but it was constant work to do so.

I will be wearing my sleeve and my stockings on my upcoming trip as I dont want to get the lymphodema back again huny.

Exercise in general is great for our lymphatic system. 

Keep up the good work and stay well luvly.
