April 19, 2005 - Off to the doctor's again!

Today, I had my first follow-up appointment with my oncologist to see how I am responding to the chemo. My labs come back perfect. Since it’s been 6 weeks since my surgery, I was able to FINALLY get prescriptions for bras, and a prosthetic. I'm so excited to be able to wear a bra! I felt so trailer trash walking around with nothing but a camisole top on for the last 6 weeks. I’ve been very lucky not to have lost any hair yet, but I have experienced an increase in hot flashes. I reminded him that I am still having problems w/ pain in my arm, and now I am experiencing lymphedema.
