Hi and hullo having a quiet day so t thought my current status might be worth jotting down on this page
Right arm measures -1 On scale next measurement 0
Currently on my second set of custom Aussie made right complete hand and arm glove and glove left hand only
Currently still wearing inserts custom made at mater in bra which is berlie ultimate sports bra the one yu can put an mp3 player in
Right boob now normal
Left boob stil work to do but have reduced bra size from 18e to 18 dd but left boob does not fit as well as right yet
Still work to do
Regular weekly jacket treatment 20mins
Daily once only massage by me
Am able to not wear sleeves etc on arms once a week and not in evenings going out
Am about to trial two days a week on limb no sleeves
But still wear inserts in bra as its comfy both sides
Result has been damn great in my view
Also have introduced a guy I met in dog park to pressure suit leg area who has spent ten years with swollen leg he has now reduced swelling by 10cm
Another woman her arm also greatly reduced
It works it seems
Have always had arthritis in hands since my fifties which now I wear arthritis gloves for at night and when I don't have sleeves on as I have found the lymphodaema sleeves have helped my hands as they are a left glove and right arm and glove sio tats been a double whammy
My exercise routine has gone up a peg or two added at my home a light gym circuit with my normal original equipment about to get back in water that will be nice and still riding my bike to hospital twice a week and with dog three other times
Loosing weight slowly and body starting to see a little just a little tone
So the effort has been worth it
Have had some hiccups with my ashma along way and am seeing a lung specialist at moment since radiation noticeable difficulties there but nothing major more about treatment he has put me on a drug called EES for a reasonable length of time getting better
Still n femara all good
Luck everyone
