Lymphedema in the chest wall

trixie1313,
My oncologist did mention that there was someone who specialized in lymphedema. My oncologist did my breast exam at the end of a 45 minute office visit so when she mentioned lymphedema and P.T. I wasn't mentally prepared to ask questions. I will be better prepared to ask the physical therapist some questions. This is upsetting to me. I have had 5 surgeries in 3 1/2 years and lots of physical therapy so to have to start this again is disconcerting.
Thank you trixie for your well wishes. I appreciate it.
