The need for proactive approach to lymphedema

I am very well thank-you. Sounds like you have done a lot to help yourself and have had some good treatment and advice. I think sharing our experiences on here can help others. It means so much more to read of someone's actual experience rather than all the standard info that is given by doctors etc. It seems that the experiences can vary so much and many people have real difficulty getting effective treatment or learning how to help themselves. I think for those of us in regional areas it can be so much harder to access the types of programs you have participated in. So if we can share info on here, it might help someone to know what to do if they have early signs of a problem. As you say it can also remind us to keep up the preventative measures such as self-massage and exercise. Take care and thank-you for your input. Deanne xxx
