The Gift that keeps on giving

Hi Graham

Glad they have seen you reasonably quickly re the lymphoedema.  I had one appointment and self managed after I was shown what to do.  The massage is really effective.  If you have a look at the bottom of my profile there is a link to a neck gaiter that was really good to use in conjunction with the massage.

As to teeth my only significant problem has been wearing away my front teeth due to excessive chewing in order to swallow.  Once the oral surgeon had confirmed all was OK for my dentist to treat me I had that problem sorted by my routine dentist.  It is not going to go away and I think they will need to fix it every so often.  I do have some gum pain around a molar that was directly in the line of fire, but fortunately that is quite manageable.

Enjoy Prague.  I did find on my first flight (10 months post treatment) that my lymphoedema caused so swelling - so massage it often during the flight would be my advice.  A year on from then and I have absolutely no problems with flying.
