I had axillary disection and radiation and want to minimize my risk of developing lymphedema. I recently got back from Hawaii and realized that I had completely forgot about getting a compression sleeve to use for flying. I didn't have any issues but am planning a longer trip and was wondering is any of you use one when flying as a precaution? I spoke to my surgeon last week and she said that some women use them and others do not when they fly. She said that she would give me a prescription for one if I felt I needed it and would use it. Just curious to hear what approach people are taking.
Thanks
Tami
