The mater in Brisbane is where I go every Wednesday for just 45 mins I am put in a pressure jacket which mimics the lymphatic system in the upper body and assists in removing fluid or rather moving it into bloodstream which yu then wee out to put it as it is
This together with daily exercises lymphodaema ones take no effort and done easily once a day I do it when relaxing at night most times simple easy things to do takes no more than ten minutes in my case for boobs arms and hands
Boobs are the hardest to deal with I am told have got right one back to normal left one is stubborn but reducing slowly can now put my original size bra on left side not as good a fit yet but definitely improving
I also wear inside my bra these foam things made by my OT apparently you can buy same manufactured by companies ask your local hospital I can find out for you but getting the right fit for you is VIP mine are made by my OC really simple easy to use you would not know you have then inside your bra but they work wonders simply exercising your lymph system while you go about your daiy routine
It works I can tell you I also bought from on line berlie bras in NZ the ultimate sports bra Serena Williams wears them I discovered they are for well endowed athletes really but for lymphodaema patients a must in my view comfy ate all the strain of the weight of the fluid off your shoulders stop bounce amazing they are expensive$90
But worth every penny
So the jacket the bras the inserts massage all will get rd of fluid ...i got past 18e. Now 18dd and going down so I know why Serena wears them
Good luck
