I am 16 weeks PFC, 6 weeks out from rads and 4 weeks out from a da vinci hyserectomy. My arm has felt a lot better and today I saw my PT for assessment. The arm is back to normal, no visible or measurable swelling. I still have to be careful and all that, but it feels good to know that being proactive actually seems to have worked.

Bras are still out, and that may be permanent. If I wear a bra for even a few hours, I get a bulge under the armpit scar. But I can live with the alternatives.

PT said that I didn't have to wear my sleeve daily anymore. I should wear it when flying and exercising and if I feel anything funky etc.
