Lymphedema & Summertime
I've been wearing a compression sleeve and glove since about November. The therapist says I'm due for a new pair in about May and I should wear what I have every day until I see her again.
Now that Spring is here...that sleeve is hot!
Last year with chemo, surgery, and radiation, there wasn't much time to enjoy summer. But here it comes and I wanna play!
Are there any precautions I need to be aware of now since having been treated for cancer and currently receiving herceptin?
I sure do feel stupid with one arm darker than the other, although it's faint now...come summer...!
