Norwegian,
Seeing a lymphedema specialist every second week is not enough. With lymphedema you need to go 3 -4 times/week for 3-4 weeks. I know several women that have had a lot of success with treatment. Ask your onc again about the lymphedema treatment. I HATE CANCER, ALL CANCER! I attend a cancer support group, not for everyone, but for me the group allows time to vent, to complain, to hate cancer, etc. and to support others who are in need. Also people in my group are teaching me to see the good things cancer has to give. I'm not there yet - I still can't see any good in a disease. Although I do think of the many people I've meant, realizing there is no subsitute for our time here, loving more deeply, etc. but frankly I still hate cancer. I also walk a lot, with two other BC survivors, which helps with the body aches and brain(harder for me to focus). I know it's hard, at times it felt like I was in a dark pit clawing my way out . You'll crawl out - I know you will. Sending you well wishes.
