Hi @traveltext I have the physio at the gold coast hospital who specialises with cancer patients, they have taken measurements of the arm and hand, they started me with a sleeve and glove and will order me a one piece sleeve with glove fitted as the two piece makes my hand swell even more, yes the doctors and physio people are surprised about the lymphoedema and they checked for other possible causes to no avail but did find a few other things not related :-), the physio team think its because the lymph nodes were bad to start with because of the cancer and what's left probably isn't coping with the amount of fluids and the chemo drugs isn't helping, once I'm off the chemo they might get a better understanding and control,
