I have been having some health problems for the past 2 1/2 months. Nothing serious...now. I had been having pain in my left armpit, because of swollen lymp nodes. They had ruled out breast cancer, after a sonogram and a mamogram, since breast cancer affects your lymph nodes. My Dr. told me he thought it is probably caused by a viral infection in my lymph nodes, that is treated with nothing, just waiting it out. Well after a month, I was still in the same boat as the previous month. Pain down my arm and swollen lymph nodes. My Dr. decided he needed to do a biopsy in my armpit to rule out Lymphoma.
On Tuesday April 22nd, I had surgery where he removed one lymph node leaving me with a 3 1/2 inch incision, and pain. After fearing the worst possible scenarios for 2 1/2 months, (you always think the worst), I went to the Dr. for my post op visit and got a clean bill of health. Halleluah!

I'm please to hear that your doing better. You must have been so relieved when the doctor gave you the clean bill of health. That's great news.
