Thanku Sam, Yes I am doing the lymphatic massage, myself, I have it down pat in the shower everyday now, and use apricot oil to stay moisturised everyday, just in the last month have had to go to physio to be compression bandaged from fingertips up which reduced by 2inches in a week, and have been fitted for compression sleeves and gloves, I had 20 out of 24 nodes removed from right. Thats a hell of a lot isnt it, I will google those sites, I found one in the UK which educated me a bit more about the effects of Lymphodema.

My body also contains the heat (5 mins in the midday sun) and I believe it casued this reaction I am going through, and I have begun menopause symptoms again, which they did warn me about!
Have a Nice Day and Thanku
