New Lymphedema caused by breast radiation

I first had symptoms about 4 mo. After treatment, was sent to PT a few times (2022) managed OK until late fall of 2025. Started having symptoms that I thought were just part of the post bc journey (trying to just live with discomfort). Referred to PT in Feb to find out It was due to lymphedema! PT worked hard with stretches, massage and exercises and taught me what to do at home every day. They also require me to wear a compression bra. ( not much fun in summer but Very helpful!!) So thats the story in a nutshell. Just so grateful for treatment and help!
