    I was sore and tender for about 7 months....went to a lymphodema massage therapist and a physiotherapis who taught me some exercizes and how to do self-massage on the scar tissue...both made a huge difference and I have been wearing my underwire bras since July without any problems...wear the soft cup sports bras on the weekends....the redness and pain will goaway. My left breast is pretty much regular colour now and I don't have that 'omg Ican't breathe in this bra' feeling any more....liquid build up mean I coud wear something one day and then not the next. It WILL get better!

Not crazy about menopause symptoms, hot flashes, etc. but so far so friggin good! My 1 year mammos are early next month so I'm a hoping alls okay...so far my check ups have been good. Jo, so nice to put a face with your name, you look great! Granny, the baby is beautiful! What a wild ride, eh? Keep on truckin!!!

    Love & hugs, ~Beans

    P.S. my rad boob is STILL pretty pink, but doesn't give me much trouble, no pain at least. God bless us and keep us all.

    Congrats on finishing! I'm glad the hydrocortisone helped and got you thru. You're going to be amazed at how much better you'll feel in just a week.



    I had my 2 week RO check up today and the burn is just about totally healed. I'm good to go for 3 months before I see him again.

    Hi everyone. Wow. I was SO FAR BEHIND on posts. Just got back from two trips. One fantastic getaway (blues cruise on the Holland America ship Zaandam), the other trip mostly boring and crappy (convention and managers meeting). I even had my birthday during meetings. Bummer. Did have two fun days in Vegas and saw the ventriloquist Terry Fator, the musical Jersey Boys, and the Gospel Brunch at the House of Blues. So, now it's back to work and boy am I tired. Anyway, I'm so far behind that I'll just have to say congrats to those who are celebrating, hugs to those who are sad, good luck to those who are expecting news, and thanks to everyone for all your information and inspiration.
