Stupid Cancer t-shirt

This piece of clothing always gets a reaction. You know, nearly everyone agrees and some people cheer me on, others are clearly uncomfortable with it. But it says it all.

I had to go to PT this morning for my arm and just needed to wear something comfortable and short sleeved so that Gretchin can wrap my arm up almost to my shoulder. The swelling went down, but seems to be stagnant the last few visits - maybe the cold I have isn't helping. This too falls under the "Stupid Cancer" umbrella since it's a result of the surgery and radiation. And, there is no question, it's a stupid waste of time to have to deal with a swollen arm.

I'm almost done - 3 more sessions with Gretchin for my arm massage & wraps. I really miss my long, thin fingers and narrow wrist on my left arm. Hope to see them again soon. And I think I need a sweatshirt for the cooler the weather. ; )

Retail therapy is always useful.
