Lymphedema

Hello Wendy

I didn't experience this, but it sounds most uncomfortable and I am sorry you are experiencing this.  I hope that the massage therapy helps and hopefully once the radiation zone recovers from treatment you may be better placed to wear the compression garments.

I am really hoping that someone picks up on your post and can offer a bit more help than me.

Hi Wendy,

I'm so glad you've finished treatments, but dang! I can't imagine trying to stuff myself into compression garments that close to Ground Zero!

For so long- and still, sometimes- yoga and stretching are all I could manage, and I credit it with keeping me sane. I've kept up the practice of starlight yoga every night that weather permits, including winter, and love it so.

I'm sorry I can't offer practical advice, but hope someone reads this soon who can.

Hugs

Suz
