Pink-Lilly-Marcia
I just had my checkup Monday. I know how you feel Marcia. Pink & Lilly - I lost 50 pounds of the weight I gained in cancer treatment. Monday at my checkup, the nurse practicioner felt something on my side below my breast area. She didn't tell me. Oncologist comes in and says "Let me look at this area that Connie is concerned about." The terror nearly zoomed me through the ceiling of the examining room. Oncologist continues: You've lost a lot of weight, so you don't have the same feel when we examine you. THere I think she felt a rib." Yep. It was a rib plus a little scar tissue. Go ahead and lose the weight, but be warned.
