Hi @"Kiwi Angel", I had mastectomy & nodes removed & developed lymphodema during chemo. It was mild but got into to see a therapist straight away. Fluid levels under 10 are pretty normal, mine were 22 so had to wear a sleeve & also had massaging done by her & also did it nightly at home. The levels went down but then rose again during radiotherapy. It has completely resolved & had my final appointment with her a month ago, 10 months after radiotherapy. It happens to some people but doesn't mean it is permanent & if treated quickly can prevent further problems.
