    Sweet Renee...
    I had a lumpectomy so I can't relate to a mastectomy..but I do have great empathy of what you've gone through....cancer takes so much from us...I say it's the " gift" that just keeps giving....I tell my husband that me being stage IV...every day is like Christmas...never know what surprises await me each day...with my chemo it seems like my life revolves around chemo, Miralax, or Immodium..lol.....

    Anyway, I hope that physically each day gets a little easier...mentally give yourself PLENTY of time....adjust at your own pace...

    Wishing you better days....you'll get there....remember our mantra..."We're stronger than we know"......
    Big hugs, Nancy
