Yes, my lymphedema was close to a Stage IV. I also go to a Lymphedema MD who directs this journey. If yours is still in the early stages, stick with the treatment plan as uncomfortable as it is, so that it doesn’t progress. My radiation for Stage IV cancer was very intense and damaged the lymph system.

I also had super-sized radiation as I had metastasis and additional surgeries during chemo and before radiation. I guess I should feel fortunate that lymphedema didn’t get to this point until now, 3 yrs after radiation.
Your situation is more intense. Thank you for sharing. I wish you could get that surgery sooner rather than later. I did not realize that there’s prep involved before you qualify for liposuction and then bypass.
Sending you strength as you navigate it all.
