Thanks, Rhonda, your story is scary. Did you wear a compression sleeve when you flew? From what you wrote, it sounds like you didn't. I wonder if your outcome would have been different if you had. I wish you the best with your arm and hope it improves.

Mary Jo, I was not told by my physicians either to wear a compression sleeve during flying. I only learned this by the Her2 boards and reading what Becky had to say about flying and compression sleeves a while back. Sometimes I wonder what good doctors are anyway. You would think they would better educate their patients, but that just doesn't happen.

Okay, folks, after Rhonda's story I am officially concerned about flying. I did have seven nodes out and my surgical arm is sensitive to over-use and abuse. For example, I have to limit how much I can carry or it aches and feels heavy. Well,
any comments on this topic are greatly appreciated. By the way, I am also taking a cruise with the Disney trip. As far as I know, there are no problems with cruising with lympedema...right?
