update to: "could this be LE?"

MicheleS · February 2011

In a word: Yes.

The therapist said that I do have LE. I have pitting edema under my implant, a pocket of fluid on my back, and "webbing" in my armpit. The good (GREAT!) news is that it isn't cancer and that it is very, very early.

So, there ya go!

Thanks for the advice that I go see someone. I feel soooo much better just knowing that I'm not a loon.

Michele, thank you so much for the update. Hooray for LE instead of the alternative! Laughing Cool Kiss

Gentle hugs,

Michele, it's so good you caught it early--glad you didn't accept the BS's pronouncement, and got to the bottom of it.

You're NOT a loon--it's just a msunderstood, denied condition.

Hoping it settles down quickly.

Michele, I'm glad you're getting help for this and that it's NOT cancer.

I agree with Kira - you're not a loon. And I want to add, you're also not alone.

All the best.
