Thankyou for your comments on both issues.
I will keep having laser on the left side, periodically. The right side eventually settled in time after the first surgery, and doing massage and drainage for lymph.
Maybe a deep massage also might help. There is a very good therapist at the St Mary's Hospital Lymphoedema clinic. I intend to go in the New year.
Yes, I try and listen to my body and look after it.
We are having a nice summer with earlier, warmer night temps now ( 15 ) and sunny days ( 26), but UV is high too. I see Rockhampton is having very warm temps and the low pressure off the coast is bringing rough seas and rain.
