Lymphedema 4 years post lumpectomy and radiation. (breast/chest wall). So very grateful for the cancer center rehab PT who was great and helped not only bring relief but who taught exercises and self management skills to continue long term at home. I was a bit surprised,when I learned that, yes, lymphedema can appear even some time after bc treatment/radiation.

@jlimb , thank you.
That makes sense. How long have you had lymphedema now? And what’s your routine for managing it?
Appreciate your input.
