Is lymphoedema starting? Please advise if you can
I'm feeling scared and panicky. Can anyone help me with this? I was about to go to bed just now, when I noticed that the fingers on my right hand are looking quite puffy. I've undone my bra and done a little gentle arm exercise, but I don't know what else to do - is there anything I can do? It's 11pm here, so I can't ask my doctor or chemo nurses. I had my modified radical mastectomy 13 months ago.
I would be so grateful if anyone can offer any advice now.
Thank you!
