    Possitive thoughts!
    Hang in there Meena....attitude has such an effect on your whole body! We can't take away what we have been given, but we sure can focus on the here & now. So many people have a hard time doing that and miss so much in life by rushing ahead. Staying focused in the moment lets you appreciate and enjoy so many things we may have otherwised missed. I'm cheering for you!
    Hugs and hope,

    I know you are worried about
    I know you are worried about how this will affect your ability to do your job in the future. I too have had that worry. But I guess I just have to trust that all will work out. Sorry chemo makes ya feel yuck. but, at least it seems to be helping some, so there is an upside. Enjoy your little get away just different scenery can sometimes make all the difference. Take care.

    Thank you guys! I know that i do not have to tell you how much I love all of you. I feel better this morning, so I will hang out in the house since it is so hot out. Thank you for the info on lymphedema. Heading to the beach tomorrow, cant wait.

    I didn't realize you are from Philly - I live about one hour away and another bc survivor recommended that I get a second opinion from doctors in Philadelphia. Where is your dr. located (which hospital) and where do you go for your treatments?

    Sorry to hear that you're having a tough time with chemo, and I hope you can get the lymphedema under control. I just had surgery on Tuesday and am really scared about lymphedema.

    Nice to see a post from you
    Nice to see a post from you Meena. I have been worried by not seeing one.

    Sorry the chemo is so tough on you. I will pray that it will get easier.

    Enjoy the shore!

    joining with the others here . . .
    to say how glad I am to hear that you have, hopefully, seen some improvement!

    I am also seeing a PT (who works with bc patients) for mild lymphedema . . . have instructions on what to do at home to keep the fluid from building up, and wear a compression sleeve during the day. I'm hoping that that will keep it under control.

    Hope to hear good news from you again after your CT scan on Aug 2 -

    Keeping you in my thoughts & prayers,

    Meena, I'm so sorry that chemo has been rough for you. I pray that it will get better for you. I still can't believe you had a recurrence. I never had lymphedema, but, I wish you well with whatever means you can find to help you with it. Praying for you!

    I have been dealing with lymphedema for the past 8 months in my left arm. I go to Cooper Cancer Center in Akron to a lymphedema PT. I just filed for disability on several issues including lymphedema due to job performance. I'm struggling to do my job when I have swelling in my left arm. There are days when I have so much swelling I can't make a fist or bend my fingers. I wish you luck and hope everything works out for you.
