More good news!!! Last week Wednesday, I went in for my first mammogram since just about this time last year. After many, many slides taken of each breast, results came back and showed NO suspicious masses or calcifications. ALL CLEAR! Shortly after my mammogram appointment, I met with Dr. Meric (my surgical oncologist) for a one-year follow up. She was happy with my recovery. I asked about my range of motion in my right arm. She had me raise my arm above my head, out to the side and stretched back as far as I could. Then she said, “Unless you’re planning on pursuing a career where you’ll need to flap your arms, I don’t think you need to be worried about your range of motion.” Seriously though, she recognized that my range of motion was excellent given the extent of the surgery I had undergone. She also let me know that I would probably always have slightly less range of motion in my right arm than my left.
So Far, So Good
So Far, So Good
