Lymphedemia Surgery treatment
Hi
I have lymphedemia in right arm as a result of removal of lymph nodes and radiation .
I have been investigating a lymph node transplant pioneered by Dr Corinne Becker of Paris ( she is on you tube) . She has said for me to go to Paris for the operation with a breast reconstruction. She has been doing this for 20years in Europe.
i have heard that one Australian woman underwent this operation.
I also know Macquarie University Cancer Institute is offering this surgery and I intend to follow up there.
Does anyone know more on this or have information about medical treatment overseas?

- There is a member on here called tovith. She has had lymphedema surgery in Australia. Think it was some sort of anastomosis. She has also had a recon. Have a feeling her Dr is a specialist in the area. Maybe send her a message. Good luck. Paula
