Five years from diagnosis
 

I've been meaning to come back and let everyone know that I made it - it's been 5 years from diagnosis last month for me! When first diagnosed I thought it was a death sentence. It hasn't been an easy 5 years but 5 years none the less. I have lymphedema in my right arm that makes my arm very noticeably larger than my left. I've tried everything but nothing helps. I hope what I do is at least slowing it down but each time I measure it is a little larger. Also the AI inhibitors have given me a lot of pain. I have neuropathy and severe back issues. But I'm here! :) I hope and pray for many, many more years of being cancer free for me as well as for all of you!

Wonderful news! Sorry about the lymphademia. Did you have physical therapy after surgery? That was a life saver for me. I still have a little swelling after either overdoing it with my arm. Or, if I do not stretch that arm it aches a little. I sure hope you can get some relief from the swelling. All the best!
