Everyone is being so nice. It really feels good. I guess this is a good place to be. It's reassuring that almost everyone here is going through a similar treatment to what's slightly behind and much in front of me. There are even folk who live in my part of the country.

A question: I had surgery (modified radical with lymph node dissection - two layers of three removed) and since then my arm is only slowing coming back. Because I am working fulltime, it's hard to find time to do stretching but also when I do, it's often painful. Lately there's some relief in going back to keeping my arm elevated. It works almost better than trying light massage where it hurts. Does anyone know why this is or what I ought to be doing differently?

[Probably I should look somewhere else for a post that already covers this but I think I have to print this thread out to find the instructions of how to do so...!]
