lymphoedema

[lia]

I appreciate that this may not be the appropriate place to post this but I really have learnt an awful lot from this site and was wondering if anyone can help.I m in the uk and my family doctor confirmed yesterday that i have developed mild lymphodema (sp? ) in my arm. I d suspected it for a few weeks but when i saw my oncologist for my first herceptin infusion 2 weeks ago he said it was just how my arm was ! Anyway my gp said it would have to get worse before anything could be done, an approach i m not happy with so i m seeing a private MLD therapist next fri. In the mean time can anyone direct me to any good resources, particularly alternative or complementary ones or supplements that might help ? Thankyou in advance, I go back to work next tuesday (been off since march !) at a new school and am now wondering how i will cope !
