@jules2026 hello dear, really there was no real pain to date..just a bit of tenderness if I tried to jog...so I just did power walking and light lifting, as advised by my nurse.. My initial consultation with my radiation oncologist John Hopkins, is May 5th...I have a bunch of questions, been preparing...but if they live up to their reputation (like Sloan Kettering did for me)? then most if not all of my questions will likely be answered upon meeting, and listening to them tell me what they know and procedures, etc.. i have experienced a breast surgeon from a regular local hospital, who wanted to do my surgery asap, offering me no consultation, just a call, no knowledge, no prep for surgery etc...AND that is when I went with Sloan Kettering, which like Mayo Clinic operates at a whole different higher level of customer service...So...I am hoping I like and also can connect emotionally too with the staff I meet next week. Please feel free to ask me whatever questions...wishing you peace
