I’m doing well now. I had lumpectomy and radiation at first then decided to have prophylactic bilateral mastectomy because of brca2 mutation. God gave me the strength to go through that surgery. I’m a chicken when it comes to surgery! The support I received from our sisters here was tremendous! Thank you all!
I didn’t know you’re still under radiation treatment. Make sure you ask for prescription cream to prevent/stop radiation burn and continue using it to at least two weeks after the treatment end. My radiologist refused to give me the prescription in advance so I used fresh aloe vera from my garden. I cleaned it well with soap and rubbing alcohol. I applied it right after each treatment (in the changing room) and reapplied few times during the day. I only had minor blisters under the nipple because I stop right after the last treatment. So make sure you continue it to prevent blisters.

I’m so sorry about your lymphedema. I had minor lymphoma and had to wear compression sleeve when fly. I had PT for lymphatic message and now am doing on my own. I pray that yours will go away. Your faith is strong and you’ll get through this. Yes, God is walking with us during this difficult times through our cancer sisters here. Hugs.
