My pain has persisted for years, and it could last forever. But it's a small price to pay to be cancer-free.

When friends ask me about my current breast cancer condition, the only real news I have to share is that it seems stable and dormant for the time being.
And that is certainly good news. The only real complaint I’ve had over these last four years is the degree to which my mastectomy scar has caused me some discomfort, often subtle but sometimes significant.
There is a good portion of my breast missing of course, along with some important nerves and a lymph node or two – small potatoes compared to the many women with ample breast tissue and more advanced cancers. Of course there are also guys with significantly more breast tissue than I have, weighing in at just 145 pounds.
