It seems that lymphedema has started in my arm. This is the collection of lymph in the limb when you have no lymph nodes to pump it out. Radiation triggers it 30% of the time and it seems I'm again in the minority.
But it is very slight right now. Possibly even "pre-clinical." At this early point, it's possible to reverse it back to normal. My appointment at the lymphedema clinic is on Tuesday, which will be 12 days after it started. I'm hoping that is soon enough for reversal. Hence the prayer request.
Please pray that the therapist will be able to rid my right arm of the lymph and that it would be back to normal.

A Harvard Doctor speaks on cancer research on Boston NPR news show today. God Bless you, beautiful Amy, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Could you pray for me too? Pray my civil rights issues at work are fairly addressed and I don't have to attend criminal court proceedings 1/21. "I have a dream..." Peace
