Whooohooo! Just got back from PT, She went over the measurements we took last Friday. My arm Has decreased in volume 222%! She said that the expected goal for treatment is 40%, so I'm doing very well indeed! Just 4 more treatments, then measure for the permanent sleeve. (Late note: OK, my mother has pointed out to me that if my arm decreased in volume 222% it would no longer exist. And I had to whack my forehead and admit she's right. So I'm not sure what that figure is. It may have to do with beginning size differential. I will ask. But let's focus on the good news - the hoped for goal is 40% and I'm at 222%. Whatever it is, it's great!)Core Needle Breast Biopsies Can Reduce Unnecessary Surgical Biopsies
