I have right arm lymphedema after breast cancer chemo, surgery and radiation. I wear a sleeve daily and a special night. I use a pump daily for 50 min. ALL of this keeps it under contol, but it is exhausting and make travel difficult.
I have be told I am a good candidate for surgery. My question is what is recovery like after this surgery. It is apparently 4-6 hrs under anesthesis. How hard is that when you are on Phesgo? How about use of arm after surgery? What will I really be able to do? I am active now, weight lift, walk, swim, yoga.
I would value hearing from anyone who has had the surgery or being connected with someone who has.

Thanks!
