Lymphoedema arm

Is it not provided my your treatment hospital?  I have an appointment with a lymphodema clinic scheduled for a month after my radiotherapy has finished and I assumed if I needed one it would be provided. 

Sorry doesn't answer your question,  good luck with your research!

Thank you.  Your reply is helpful.  It’s been a few years now since I had my mastectomies and lymph pad removal from right arm so I think I had forgotten about certain clinics. My check ups are once a year now so I feel a bit out of the loop even though the ongoing recovery remains.  I will look into the availability of accessing a lymphoedema clinic.  Thank you.  

Ahh, makes sense I know half the time I'm not sure where my starting point would be especially with hospitals and I am currently very much in the loop!

May be try your GP and ask for a referral if your next appointment is a few months away, may speed things up.

Good luck

I get mine from my local lymphodema clinic. Was advised not to order online because you need measuring for the right size. They should see you regardless of how long ago you had cancer. I know someone who has just developed lympodema about 5 years or maybe longer since treatment.b

Thank you for your reply.  Encouraging and helpful.  Thank you.
