Hi Sue,
I had pain and aching in my arm when my fluid levels went up to 16.
Swelling had been building up throughout chemo, but my head wasn't making the connection with lymphodema. By the time I got to Mary we had quite a bit of work to do. I'd also started being more active with exercise and gardening, and that all mad e it worse. So maybe your plane trips are having a bad effect. Are you wearing skins during the flights? I got my swelling down by wearing skins for half a day, and massaging 2-3 times every day - and treatment from Mary of course.
I was wondering about a pressie for Natalie too- maybe some nice personal skincare products? I thought I'd try to bring a bunch of roses from my dad's garden. Their perfume is to die for.
I think it'd be a good idea to have everyone's birthdays down too.
Good luck with your arm.
