Finally, some good news!

I finally got the results of my lymph node biopsy, done over a week ago.. NO CANCER!!! That thrills me. The swelling in my arm is also coming down alot, so I don't need to wear a compression cast afterall... and the Dr isn't sure why the swelling has come down so much. He said we may never know what caused this to start, but it is finally resolving.. and that is really all I care about. Of course I may end up in physical therapy, since the pain in my arm had caused me to stop using it for almost a month now, and my fingers still have no strength, and doing alot of things is awkward and difficult, but I am working on using them more, and on straightening out my arm, the elbow doesn't want to be straight anymore, but that is slowly (and painfully) resolving) I am just so happy!! And to make it even better, when I got on the scale for my monthly weigh in, I was not expecting to see much loss at all, but I lost 11 lbs!! bringing my total to 110!! Time to apply for that centruy club card now! I can type a little better, so I should be around more.. reading posts but not being able to respond has been hard... it will be good to get back in the "game" again I want to thank EVERYONE for their wonderful support!!! brianna
