    Oh, thank you!

    I don't log on that often, but maybe I better change that! Such a nice greeting from you guys. Lymphedema is no better and it looks like I'll need the really thick hose to squish my damn leg down (and who knows what for the groin area)! I'm trying not to feel too much self-pity but it's so hard when I see folks in their cute sundresses and capries and sandals and I'm wearing long pants and tennies. I finally lost weight (had to get cancer to do that) and my legs were looking pretty good!

    I’m dealing with the same thing. The lymphedema has been more difficult to deal with then the chemo.
