Lymphedema - new support group: Let's connect

I saw my oncologist who recommended a physical therapist. There is no one LANA certified within 120 miles of me. She helped a little, and if there is nothing new I will do the exercises she recommended.
Since this is not a limb, compression is not an option.
Just wondered if there is anything new...

I wear compression socks for my lymphedema in my legs and recently started wearing a man's compression shirt to help with back support and it puts a squeeze on my back and chest area including under the arms. It might be something to discuss with your physical therapist and oncologist. Do you think a women's compression shirt might help along with the exercises?
