I had a CAT scan on Tuesday and was able to view the results yesterday. It did not show any signs of the cancer returning. I also recently was fitted for and received three bras with one prosthetic and a compression sleeve and glove to help prevent swelling in my left arm where my lymph nodes were removed. Interestingly, I sweat under my right arm but not my left. I still shave under my right arm but no longer have any hair under my left arm--perhaps the radiation removed the hair. My next appointments having to do with this diagnosis are in June (mammography on my right breast) and July (appointment with the plastic surgeon), so the next updates will likely be about when I get reconstruction surgery. In the meantime, having the prosthetic is better than before, my H joked that my adjustments of the fiberfill I was using (it would creep up when I walked) reminded him of Granny on the Beverly Hillbillies . No need to make those adjustments anymore--the new bras have a pocket for the prosthetic.
