I was really swollen and puffy here. That's gone and it hasn't come back.
Two years ago, Leonard, who is 56, was treated for early stage breast cancer. She had surgery to remove the small tumor, followed by several months of radiation. Soon after she finished treatment, Leonard realized something was wrong.
I had this lump inside my breast. And clearly, I didn't even have that before the surgery because the tumor was so small and it just kept getting bigger. In the morning I would start out fine, a little sore. By night time my breast was very swollen and extremely painful.
The lump was not cancer. Thinking it might be an infection, Leonard's doctors prescribed antibiotics. When that didn't work, they tried other invasive treatments, including surgery, but the problem quickly returned. And then Leonard discovered physical therapist Jen Goyette.
