Hello all, I hope you are all doing well. My partner and I are going abroad in a couple of weeks, I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with lymphoedema and flying? Is my partners neck likely to swell up on the flight? Thank you
Hi. I don’t personally but I wouldn’t think the slightly reduced cabin pressure would make much difference. Is your partner doing exercises to help?

Hello, yes he is and he has a compression garment but I have just thought about the cabin pressure on the flight and wondered if anyone would know.
Thank you.
