Thank you so much, ladies!!! I was pain free today and I'm hoping it'll stay that way. Last night was weird though - I was brushing my teeth and could feel the nerves tingling in my shoulder and this time also where my right breast used to be. It was a hot, needle-like tingling sensation that lasted a minute or so but then it stopped. No clue what this could be, but I sure hope it's not any cancer cells acting up again.

One piece of anectodal evidence - after my 3rd was born in '06, I had weird
tingling sensations in my right arm. Not sure if there's any correlation, but when I found my swollen node in '08, I wondered whether those sensations were due to the node pressing on my nerves.... Either way, it's good to be in tune with our bodies.

Thanks again!
