Lymphedema Therapy and future issues

Well, well,well............ my fat isn't fat, it is swelling from lymphedema. Kidding. I suffer from both. Apparently, the lymphedema will get worse before it gets better. My neck is swelling and sometimes my face swells. I had a cat scan on Tuesday. I will later. So my compression bra came, I had a second therapy session and I wear my compression sleeve. I am compressed. The Dr. gave me a compression thing to put in my compression bra. When I take all this stuff off, the boob looks like a waffle. I asked Dorsey to help me with the massage techniques and after about 45 seconds, he figured out a back-scratcher would be better than his hands. So I use it now myself. Since I have to massage myself, the back scratcher is pretty handy. I had my last visit with my surgery Dr. on Wednesday until June 2013, at which time I get a mammogram. I don't know who is supposed to translate the findings of my MRI and Cat Scan. I am not worried, COH will figure it out and get back to me. I see the radiologist in three weeks for radiation. I have to get my tamoxiphen rx next week. I forgot to pick it up the three days I was at COH this week. Oh, I have to exercise my arm to help reduce the lymph stuff. That's cool. I am so tired. It has to be from the Chemo cause I am not on any meds. More as it happens.
