This is a great discussion. We plan to travel to India in September and that is two flights of 8 hours each, first from US to Europe and then after 4 hours break another one to New Delhi.

I am now starting to think that it might be better to stop for a day or two in Europe and let the arm relax and then take the flight from Europe.

The bad thing is that I inquired in New Delhi and they do not have a lymphedema clinic and the doctors said they try to sort out complications themselves.

I am scared what to do. As my family lives in Delhi so I am desperate to see them, havent seen them in 3 years...
Perhaps I should take a ship cruise, if there is one......

I talked to the physical therapist at Mass General Hospital last year and she said she does not advice a sleeve....that has even confused me more....
Who is the right person to talk to on the medical team for how to prevent lymphadema....
