I even wore compression stockings on the way over - not on the way back as I found them too tight and uncomfortable even though they were "made to measure". I suffer with lymphodema and have regular massages etc and really look after my arm. However whilst away I was a bit more relaxed. I walked and walked and walked every day and I think that this was really helpful for my arm (even with all the shopping bags hanging off it!!!!) I took my Arimidex every day - just before going to bed. I didn't care what time it was. I was very mindful though, being in Thailand, to cover my arm in sunscreen. Just relax and enjoy your trip.
