Hi Sue,

My dear lady - although I'm in the AF club, I saw your photo and it brought home the realisation what a painfully monumental journey you must have been on - my hat off to you - may you live a long, cancer free life.

All the very best to you,

Cheers and hugs,

Musetta

Brave lady! The scar looks good, not puffy or oozy. Keep up the arm exercises for a bit even though you have good mobility as it can take time for all the lymph to settle down.

Great to see the photo thank you. I am facing into a mastectomy on 8th March - and lymph node removal - so your photo makes it less frightening- thanks again bernxx
