Hi Faux

I also had cording, but it was definitely not as severe as your description. It felt like a cord running from my armpit down the inside of my arm to just below the elbow crease. The treatment for it was exactly the same as treatment for lymphedema. I had a tightness in my chest across the mast. incision but it felt more like very tight duct tape. I did the exercises and wore an elastic arm stocking and glove and it eventually got to almost 100%. It took about 9 months. Again, your description sounds much more extreme.
Good luck with this.
