All the pain in my back has gone away, and the pain in my armpit has gone away too. I forget how weak my back is since a muscle is gone and usually over do it. My lifting weight days are pretty much over. So many back muscles are used that we do not realize. Focus on Cardio and legs from now on..It's all good.
So I've been cancer free for the longest now...it will be 2 years in July. I think some people forget that I've had cancer. I've had friends tell me that they want breast augmentation. I want to tell women to be thankful that they still have their God given breasts. I guess unless you've had your breasts cut from your body women will never comprehend the emotional pain that breast cancer survivors go through even years later. Sure we have reconstructed breasts and they look good under a shirt or in a swim suit, but they will never be like the real thing. They're just numb peices of flesh one with an implant and one without. I miss my real breasts. I am alive though and I'll get past the reminiscing and get on with my life. :-). They're only boobs for goodness sake.
Going to call a tattoo place today and see if they can do something over the scar on my back from the lat flap.
