Hi Airlie,

Yes I feel its completely out of my hands and I have no control over it, which is the frightening part. Most days I dont feel sick or ill or like im suffering, its just the psychological side of it all.

How did you go with the lymphedema? I have bad cording from my surgery that extends all the way down to my thumb, ive been wearing compression garments since 2 weeks post op (im 10 weeks post op now) and see my physio for massage.

Thankyou for your support xx
