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?

That is so good to hear Barbara. What a relief for you to have things heading in the right direction at last. I hope you are resting well and continue to heal after all that you have been through.
