Hi @emine, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.

Dealing with painful lymphedema on top of your cancer and radiotherapy is a lot to handle. I also did a search for Lymphedema on Mayo Clinic Connect, here are the results: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/?search=lymphedema.

There are a few lymphedema discussions around various cancer diagnoses that you may find insightful as well.

@emine, if you are comfortable sharing, which type of cancer are you receiving treatment for? Is the lymphedema worse after treatments, or has it been a steady issue since you started receiving radiotherapy treatment?
