I finally had a massage again today, which helped my shoulder and side pain tremendously. However, it didn’t help my hand. At least not yet. It’s still puffy. He mentioned it could be a lymphatic issue, and so did my radiation oncologist whom I saw this morning. But both of them agreed it seems to really be concentrated in my hand and not throughout my arm. I’m holding onto the hope that it’s not lymphoma.

I’m really tired of feeling sore all the time. There. I said it. Again. But I’m thankful that the massage helped with some of it. And that my doctor’s appointment this morning went well. And that my surgery is only a few weeks away.
