Re: Mild Lymphedema

It is very empowering when you have the tools! Use them to not allow the lymphedema to get ahead of you. My wife Pearl is a 22-year survivor of breast cancer who has had lymphedema from the day one. She has been managing it for 16 years now, and when she removes her bandages you cannot tell which arm has the lymphedema. But it takes 1-2 hours out of our lives every day for simple MLD, exercises, bandaging and washing the sleeves and bandages. We think it's worth it.
