Re: Would like to speak to someone with lymphedema

Hi Vicky
Sorry I am too far away for you to phone me. This method has started to be used at my onc centre. My therapist has been treating lyphoedema for YEARS and reckons that this is the best she has come across.
A friend of mine has also had some success with dragonboat racing!! She took part in a study that gradually built up the muscle strength in her arm (very slowly) till eventually a team of them rowed a boat. Each of them had improvement. My friend's resolved completely.
I wondered what stage lymphoedema you have and what treatment you are having at the moment?
Hope this is some help.
Ellie
