Had no chemo or radiation, they removed some lymph nodes on my right side. I currently walk with (2) canes, use a walker in my apartment when needed, quad canes in bad weather. It hurts every day but you have to fight it. The elastic stockings are a real pain to put on/take off. Most of the time I wear a velcro piece on my lower leg. I try to put my feet up when I can. I retired in January, just moved and lost my mom in October. After I settle down, will concentrate on exercising and taking care of myself. Will never give up...I just turned 63.  less
