My Onco said I had to wait a year (post tx) to see a MLD Specialist HNC.
SLP recommended Cancer RehabPT online exercises, which I still do today.
Water drinking & exercises especially swimming does wonders for lymphedema.
Lymphedema is alot better since 3 yrs out NED.

@zenren14 You waited a year to start seeing a MLD specialist in HNC. Interesting. Did not know there is a MLD therapist dedicated to HNC. Tomorrow is will meet my therapist and see if she is MLD or mainly motion. And find out her experiences treating HNC. I am reading in some articles that therapy, MLD, should be done initially 3 to 5 times a week. I thought by talking to a few centers that it is 1x a week since that is what they do. Anyone going multiple times a week. ???Thank you everyone for responses
@zenren14 I love The CancerrehabPT. Her videos are great on YouTube.

@zenren14 Good feedback: swimming. I will need to go back to the "Y' and restart my swimming that I stopped several months ago.
