Discouraged with lymphedema: How do you cope?

I actually thought lymphedema was caused by my surgeon when I had my lumpectomy. I applaud all of the women who support one another in the lymphedema fight. I had no idea that congress passed the bill for the bras. I use the Prairie bra. Prairie came out with a new bra that doesn't have those big, wide shoulder straps.

Thank you to all of you.

One of life's little ironies, "mamabea", is when we get a lumpectomy or a mastectomy, the government will pay for our bras!
Thank you for the info about the Prairie bra. I've been wearing the Jobst Belisse bra, which even with insurance is still very expensive.
