Due to cording issues, I see a specialist physio on a reasonably regular basis. The clinic treats cancer survivors and obviously, lymphoedema issues. Last visit, the physio decided it was time to me...

No baseline. I asked surgeon if a risk, and was told only 5% chance of developing (9 nodes wee removed in the surgery in the end). Now seeing specialist physio due to cording (wish I knew about that before it happened!!), so have some measures to go on, but pre-op would have been better.
I get it that these are side effects of life saving surgery, would not have changed the surgery at all, but pre-op physio info would be welcome.
Saying that, at pay op check as soon as surgeon saw the coding, she sent me straight to lymphodoema practitioner physio.
