Arm paranoia

I have been absolutely paranoid about my right arm since surgery, thinking I would get Lymphoedema. Today I saw my physio at the hopsital for my post radiation arm measurements and I was so happy that my arm has actually got smaller!

So now I will try and relax about it and just get on with treating it "normally".

Just thought I'd share !

    Hi Sarah

    I am the same too.  Had my operation on 21 December and am just finishing radiation (last session tomorrow - hurrah!).  I keep feeling my arm and waking up after dreaming it has swollen to elephantine proportions!  See the physio on Monday to get measured.  Fingers crossed!
