Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention...

My lymph nodes seem to be puffy too. On the clavicle (right side). I don't feel them, like rocks, it is a soft, puffy area. When i look in the mirror, you can tell that the right side is puffed up. I saw my breast surgeon last week, and she said that she wasn't concerned because they weren't "hard". But she told me to point it out to my onc when I see her.

I'm just one big puffy mess.
