Hi Jane,
So sorry to hear your news. I know the bandaging can be very successful at reversing that swelling, so I hope you are soon back in control of your lymphoedema again. It sounds like you have a great therapist who knows her stuff.

Some days it just seems too much. But with the help and support of your therapist you will get back on top of the lymphoedema and then things might seem more manageable again. Meanwhile we are here to listen and understand how you are feeling right now. Sending big hugs.
