@rogo By the way, the bra comment is the same in my case. I've tried to wear a sports bra, or just go without for the most part. But I know that is part of my pain issue. Seems like they could have entered the site just a bit lower on the chest to avoid this from being a problem. 🤦♀️

@nannybb I was diagnosed 9 years ago and thought the worst. I am now 73 . I am at Princess Margaret Hospital in Canada and assured they are one of the best with this. The doctors have assured me this type of cancer is very slow growing, rarely spreads and I will probably die from old age . I used to go for cat scans every 3 months , then every 6 months , now once a year , and a lung x ray between. I still have an occasional cough , and get out of breath walking up stairs but I can live with that . I hope they are right and I can continue on . Treatment is only necessary if the symptoms get worse , so I hope things stay the same. They tell me this is a very rare form of cancer , but one you can live with. They tell me it’s more of a condition that I have to live with. After my ct scans the word STABLE is my best friend.
