I had a biopsy and 12 nodes removed on the side with the LE. I also had radiation which burned my skin and caused an infection. I am eager to find out more that I can do on my own since I have so far been unsuccessful in locating anyone who REALLY knows how to treat this. The woods are full of "certified" therapists eager to take my money but who have little real knowledge of this condition and how to treat it.

I apologize for any repetitions. I seem to have gotten involved in several threads on this topic. I appreciate all the posts regarding this subject which is of the utmost importance to me. Thanks to you all, especially LymphActivist.
