Hi Karen,
Interesting about the cording. We'll have to swap notes next Saturday. My cording doesn't look as bad as some photos I've seen on the internet, but it's still painful and really restrictive, and gets worse if nothing is done about it. It took a while for Mary to acknowledge that it was cording causing my arm problems and not just chest tightness. Does your physio 'snap' them? Mary did that with mine, but I've since read other advise that that could be unnecessarily severe on the lymph system. Hard to know what to do sometimes... I was talking to Alex at Chemo on Friday, (because I've now got a lump on inside of my elbow that we think is caused from snapped lymph vessel). She brought the physio over from the hospital, who recommended some other physiotherapists to see it while Mary is OS. So it'll be interesting to see how they approach the treatment.
Looking forward to catching up with everyone who's going next Saturday.
See you then
