I also held my breath for as long as I could...I am so elated and relieved that you had a good report. I know your heart must be beating a bit "lighter" Thank you for the good news!!
I also had a first appointment today for my lymph massage consult. Man did it feel good and seemed to help. Except when I came home ouch! Delayed reaction I guess some nerves got wake up calls. I was also given the low down on lymph fluid. It is very interesting. I was given a compression bandage to wear at night ...wow the night of the living Mummies returns over and over again. We will see how that one goes. I also talked to a social worker who deals specifically with cancer patients and am going to start with her too. So looks like my dance card is full between physio , massage, exercise and mind control(just kidding some counselling) but forward and upward.
Looks like it is full steam ahead for you. I couldn't be happier and more confident that you will supercede the doctor's expectations...Take care waiting for that HUG when this all over with!
