Hey Jo
No your stories don't worry me at all luvy so don't stress. My attitude is it is just another thing I have to deal with and after chemo I am well tuned to deal with what comes my way. It is just a bastard that everything is sent to try us hey!!!!! I have coped with chemo, loss of all body hair, yukky skin, nails falling off, pain pain and a lot more pain plus all the other little niggly side effects I have been lucky to deal with by saying it is only temporary but unfortunately I don"t class 5 years as temporary..............I will deal with it though cause I also too intimidated to go off it and give that Mongrel Cancer another chance of getting me. Unless there becomes something bigger and better out there for us to try in time to come. Until we just get on with it and scream, yell, stamp our feet, say we have had a gutsfull and whatever else we feel like saying to our pink sisters who understand,
Bandaging and massage is helping my lymphodeama and I had measurements taken today for a special sleeve to come from Germany for me to werar constantly until arm settles. Hopefully you have had a specialist measure your arm some time after your surgery if you had nodes removed so you will have these to refer back to if you have an inkling something isn't right and get back in to see them. irst sign of swelling or unusual feeling of tightness etc. Like everything else DON'T LET IT GO, DON'T GO IN TO DENIAL AND DON'T IGNORE IT. Again I class myself as a lucky one cause I got on to it early.
LOL
Take good care of yourselves
