I had my mastectomy in November and flew to London and Paris over Christmas. I had planned to get and wear a sleeve, but we live in a small town and I forgot so traveled without it. I had no swelling or problems with 8 hour flight...however, when we go to Japan this fall, I plan to wear one. It is one thing I can do that might make a positive difference...and my insurance will pay for it with a prescription from the doctor.
