It's been awhile since my last post. Work is keeping me busy. I am currently in West Palm Beach, FL. It is very hot here, but not as humid as Louisiana!

I am feeling well and all of my doctors tell me I'll live another day. I also went to the lymphedema clinic for a consult. I have some very slight swelling in my left arm, but it is not lymphedema- yet. Apparently, there has to be at least 1 1/2 to 2 cm of swelling for it to be lymphedema. I have about 1 -2 mm of swelling. The therapist suggested wearing my compression sleeve overnight after I fly. This seems to be controlling the swelling.

My hair is still very curly. Friends tell me it has gotten darker! No, I haven't dyed it!

Mammogram: It's been six months since my last radiation treatment. The doctors want a baseline mammogram at the six month mark. I am happy to report that my test results are NORMAL!

Pneumonia: I ended up having pneumonia. I'm glad to report that I am fully recovered and feeling well.

Anniversary: Yesterday was the one year anniversary of my surgery. I also went to see Dr. Christian (surgeon) for a checkup. All is well.

I've recovered from the treatments, but I've caught "the crud". Went to the doctor today and got some antibotics. Hope to feel better soon.
