So I never really complain about having had cancer. I know at least right now Im free of the beast. But theres a few things I want to share. No I may not look sick or in pain but every day is a battle. Having my lymph nodes taken has caused irreversible damage. Do you know what lymph nodes are supposed to do? I never did until they were taken away. Let me tell ya, its a horrible feeling. My right arm swells, aches, I am numb in some parts, fluid pockets under my shoulder blade which cause great pain. Fluid also fills up in my right breast and under my arm. This people is extremely painful. I finally have a great job to go to and by the end of the day writing and typing becomes a chore. This is just a few of the issues I am dealing with physically. The emotional issues are another thing. Every day I am filled with joy about being cancer free. But then I remember I have constant appointments, blood work, scans. The fear never goes away. The sleepless nights I sit worrying about the what-ifs are countless. That is all. Just figured I would share some thoughts today.
