Nancy continues her physical therapy/treatments for lymphadema. Her next Doctor appointment is not until December 14th. Her spirits are good. From our entire family, thanks to all of you for great support. At Thanksgiving, we are thankful for you!

Nov 10th Update

Nancy saw Dr Anthony on Monday. His review of the scans matched what we heard last week.... however Nancy's left arm and the wall of her chest were both slightly swollen. The left arm especially will be something we have to watch and manage due to the lymph nodes having been removed. So, Nancy starts some physical therapy next Tuesday. The PT is located next to the Doctor's office, so it is very handy.
Nancy may have to wear a sleeve on her left arm at times.
Nancy also had her Zometa infustion Monday, so there is no Thursday appointment needed. Her spirits are good, and most days she now takes a walk in our neighborhood. Thank you all, BC

November 5th Update

Nancy had scans and ultrasounds yesterday. The Doctor came by and reviewed while she was there. The preliminary data (get the final report on Monday) is that the infection was just that, an infection that is now gone. The other pain is caused by scar tissue...which you just live with. So it is great news.... Nancy is feeling well and looking forward to the weekend.
