Christina, I was just commenting to my husband how strongly I can feel my heartbeat now.Well, duh, I had a bilateral mastectomy and of course there is no padding on my chest wall anymore. It did not occur to me at first. But I see your mastectomy was on the right side. And I guess you are referring to your pulse???
And Melinda, I wanted to thank you for your earlier post that you did not loose all your hair until the third round of chemo. I still have enough short hair to look like someone with VERY thin hair. I do not seem to be scaring children when out in public so am going without any head covering. Which is a blessing. It is at least 112 degrees here and HUMID. It is nice to be unemcumbered....
But my third round is tomorrow........
