Lymphadema?
Hi girls- as anyone else experienced lymph-edema in their mastectomy scar area and under the arm 1 year or more after their surgery/treatment.
History: Light lymph-edema in arm and underarm after surgery. The lymph-edema disappeared for about 6 months now seems to have come back with vengeance, lymph node knots and swelling in arm/underarm chest pressure for the last 2 weeks.
Hoping wait it out and treat "as usually" sleeve and flex-e-touch suit..... not really fazing it keeping in control maybe but not making it go away.
Any suggestions or been there's
Thanks
kelly
