I received neoadjuvent chemotherapy last summer, recently had a mastectomy and level three axillary dissection. After the surgery I had a PET/CT scan, and we found the cancer had metastasized to my spine and one of my ribs.  Unfortunately the chemotherapy had been ineffective.  Other than that stiff sentence, I am in reasonably good health, and have not developed lymphedema.  My lymphedema therapy specialist is treating me basically like I DO have lymphedema, and has me in a compression sleeve and gauntlet all day, every day.  I remove the sleeve at night.  I do daily lymph clearance massage and stretching exercises. And I am trying to be more active and lose some weight.  I appreciate the opportunity to interact with this community, and look forward to getting to know everyone.  less
