Hi to all, rads have started, and I've had 9 out of 21 treatments so far. Being a loyal exercise freak to prevent lymphoedema, I've hit an obstacle with some cording forming in my armpit, and a pulli...
Hiya Tracey, fantastic that you have a referral to someone who specializes in this. I had lymphedema and cording. My lymphedema OT would actually show me where the rope like cords were and get me to massage them between my fingers.

I actually felt mine go 'pop' which freaked me out a little bit but was apparently a good thing.
Hope this helps.
