Lymphedema can be a challenging long-term effect that many cancer survivors face, and connecting with others who understand this experience can be really valuable. Many people in this community have found lymphedema clinics helpful for learning management techniques and getting specialized care - sharing experiences about different treatment approaches and what has worked could benefit everyone here.

I’ll keep you posted. I went to a class last month and next week I see a therapist. It is part of occupational therapy here. I had surgery 16 days ago (lumpectomy). I’m having some issues. I started doing some exercises I learned from the class. I think they are helping.
