That’s great you’re seeing a lymphedema specialist! She should steer you in the right direction. The easiest thing I do that has a surprisingly big impact is to wear a Swell Spot inside a very snug bra. It still amazes me that it makes such a difference! I also do a lymphedema exercise class once a week called Healthy Steps. I do it in person at a local cancer resource center, but I believe you can find classes or YouTube videos online. Every once in a while I do a little manual drainage. These measures really help keep the lymphedema at bay, and I can tell when I slack off on the exercise or don’t wear my Swell Spot for a while!

This is my 2nd breast lymphedema specialist,
I needed a second opinion to find out if I have stomach lymphedema too and to get a more precise and shorter self massage daily routine.
