Lymphodema
Hi there groovy gals......
Just wanted to share an experience and ask a question....
I recently came back from an amazing holiday in New Zealand! We attended and participated in the Wellington D...
It is so important to wear compression sleeves, etc on long plane/car trips and I have found also when doing anything strenuous. There seems to be no rhymn or reason with lymphodema - just have to find the happy medium. I have lost so much strength in my arms. I asked the Physio today if I will ever be able to build up my arm muscles again now that I have lymphodema issues. His reply was that it is possible with care. Bloody nuisance but it is just about knowing the limitations that bc gives us. I have been managing lyphodema since the beginning of the bc journey even prior to actually having symptoms. It is an ongoing "work in progress" that never ends. XLeonie
