But it is always on my mind, or very close to my mind. Like you, my lymphedema causes me to have to remain vigilant. And of course when someone notices a scar, or says something that triggers a memory... it all comes rushing to my brain and bubbles on my lips. I try to gauge my audience before I launch into a tirade these days but it doesn't always work. I used to fear upsetting people or getting on their nerves by talking about it too much. I don't fear that anymore but I do try to remain conscious that for many people, breast cancer is a monster they simply are not trying to face.Nicole McLeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08080038670373879676noreply@blogger.com
