      Thank you… my surgeon has just kept telling me it’s normal and that she didn’t cut anything, and that I’m also at a very low risk of lymphadema.  Both of which I feel are untrue based on research and conversations with other doctors and patients.  I’m moving my care to UCSF and am hopeful I will receive better and more honest care there.
