My cording stayed with me for quite some time. I have to exercise almost every day now (final surgery in April of 23). I don't see the cording but I have the tightness when I skip the stretching. I'm glad the web site was helpful

I also have to stretch daily and massage the area around and below my armpit where lymph nodes were removed. I had my DM almost 4 years ago. It's an on-going process for me but the PT/OT I did for 8 weeks following my radiation was invaluable! Get as much professional help as you can, hang in there and try to be patient - recovery is different for everyone.
