Hi Hopeful, I couldn't get page 2 to open, could you tell me briefly what it said. I have some mild lymphedema and would love to hear what they have said. It's an ongoing worry that it will progress!
Thanks Julie

Julie,

Page 2 discusses various risk reduction methods that are standard advice for patients that have not been tested via trials but are at this point theoretical (i.e., wearing compression sleeves while flying, avoiding bp readings and needle sticks on the affected arm). Let me know if the link Jackie posted does not work for you.

Thanks Jackie and Hopeful, the link did work.
