    Chicago, when I had my surgery done in January, the surgeon said he had to cut a nerve as there was a suspicious mass wrapped around one of the shoulder nerves and he couldn't get it out without cutting the nerve.  So, on top of the removing of lymph nodes, etc., I had a hard time with the underarm.  There seems to be so much "fat" there.  It's been three months now, and I'm just to the point where I can lift my arm more easily.  Even that is a miracle, because it was expected that I would have little use of my arm.  It takes time.  And the "stuck" feeling?   I can identify with that!  Whenever I lift my arm after being still a while, I feel like someone superglued the unders together.

    Oncotype DX score came back at 14.  I am still considering chemo as it may reduce my risk of recurrence slightly.  Any suggestions?
