      Thank you so much Cheri. You captured the dilemma well and understand completely what I'm weighing. I turned 52 yesterday and am in good physical shape so  he may say something similar to me about being able to tolerate the intrusion. I was unaware of he risk of lymphadema. It sounds like you manage it well but it must be uncomfortable as hell. I'm glad you mentioned it and it points to the vale if this forum. I will wait and see what the surgeon says. Your knowledge and care in responding helps me so very much. 

      Thanks again
