and then came...lymphedema.

Well, I was feeling pretty excited about my scans being so positive, and then also having only one more chemo treatment this round before a break...and I wake up one morning and my index finger looks like, I don't know, a carrot. LOL! No, I just had a big swollen index finger. I didn't know what it was. For the past couple days I now have "Mickey Mouse" hand. I know have an appointment with a lymphedema specialist. Anyone who has had this want to share? Im pretty bummed, as so far I have made it through this working 45 hours a week and being able to keep my insurance. Now the impression I am getting is I might have to quit my job due to this lymphedema (I use my arm/hand a lot at work).
