It was my right breast that had the tumor. A year ago i had a total hysterectomy and lost half my blood on that. Recovered then had a problem with my arm. Never been diagnosed with lymphodema but did go to chiroprator and did home excersize as well as seen a PT for a few sessions. Regained it back with some still residual effects. Researched lymphodema and had a lot of those side effects but all doc's said due to loss of blood caused that??? I appreciate the info on the golfing, I was concerned as it is my understanding if the tumor was in the right breast they will put the port on the other side and how that might effect my golf swing, or if I golf would that cause the port to somehow dislodge or cause infection etc. I want to stay involved with my sports as it is a big part of the things I love to do. I have been eating much healthier since all this came about keeping up with greens, fiber etc. Other concerns are how to avoid nausea EI: Best things to eat prior to chemo, how long to eat before and after chemo. All my life I have had a pretty strong stomach but I also understand that could all change with Chemo. Also has anyone had an occasional glass of wine through chemo or is that taboo? Want to do all the right things! Also just quit smoking and am concerned about needing help staying quit, any advise or meds the doc could possibly prescribe that would not effect chemo as all this does cause a lot of stess and smoking was a big vice I did to counter act that and do not want to fall prey to smoking again.
