update: so I officially have lymphedema, which is an unfortunate common complication after a mastectomy, lymph node removal, and radiation. I start physical therapy tomorrow where they will teach me massage and exercises to maintain the condition. There is no cure. Im also being fitted for a compression sleeve. Im pretty bummed about all of this but still thankful that in the grand scheme of things it could be worse!!
