Re: Input requested for radiation after mastectomy and lymphodema

a physical therapist will see you after the mastectomy and massage your arm and show you exercises to do to avoid problesm. basically one is to keep your arm straight up and gently open and close your fist on a regular basis - no need to squeeze hard and should be done the same speed. do this daily.
take care
