Breast lymphoedema
Hi, I had arm and hand lymphoedema following during chemo which I treated with massage and a compression sleeve and glove. I am 2 months out from end of radiotherapy and have now developed breast lymphoedema! Has anyone had good treatment/results with the breast lymphoedema? I am having manual drainage and compression bandaging which is really uncomfortable on the shoulder and back. I've noticed there is a bra - Bellisse, does it work and do you know if they have stockists in Australia?
