Hi everyone, it may be Friday 13th but I've just had a call from the hospital and my biopsy has come back clear!! At last I can now look at some sort of 'normality' instead of living in limbo as I'm sure a lot of people here would know about! I also had a call from the Lymphoedema Clinic to say my 'stockings' have now arrived and I have an appointment next Friday for them to show me how to put them on etc, that's going…
