Lymphedema in treated breast

Yes, I have somehard swelling and was told to nassage fluid v gently towards other side.  My GP has made app for me st lymphodema clinic early next month. See your GP for advice

 I wish you well xx

i have seroma in mine, i looked down and went oh, thats bigger than the other and a tad for . but because there was no pocket of fluid i left it, took 3 weeks to start to settle and be less achy, then had another surgery so back to slowly reducing.

there are youtubes to help show how to drain the fluid, as Tav says gently massage move the fluid out, been trying it for a few days and seems to help a bit, now odd shapes starting

Yes I too have lymphoedema in treated breast ,diagnosed last week. I had noticed my nipple and areolar were pale and sometimes white. The breast surgeon said he could feel fluid and checked with ultrasound but didn't think to ask about treatment. I have my yearly appointment in July so will ask about massage as have seen this on line. Hope you can reduce it and it's not painful I'm going to try to following video on Utube

Hi DollyP , I have lymphoedema in my treated breast, it’s a less well known side effect of radiotherapy. Mine was diagnosed by our local lymphoedema service - I was referred after my 10 week post rads oncology follow up. The lympheodema nurse showed me simple massage (which I didn’t really manage very well), advised me to get more supportive bras (I was still in soft post op bras) and recommended taking up Nordic walking or aqua aerobics. I signed up for a Nordic walking course and have been doing it for 4 years now! I really love it and apparently the technique (not the same as using regular walking poles) is both an upper body workout and also ideal for getting fluid moving in the breast. At a follow up appointment 6 weeks later, the nurse saw such an improvement that she discharged me from the lympheodema service though I can self refer back if needed. 
So I’d absolutely recommend pressing for a lympheodema referral. It was a huge relief to get a diagnosis and advice. And of course I gained a new hobby! 
Love and hugs, HFxx 

Thank you ladies for your replies! I will definitely be looking on YouTube for some guidance :-)
