Has anyone had LVA surgery for lymphedema after BC?

Posted by azjan @azjan, 6 hours ago

I have lymphedema in one arm after a SMX two years ago. Went to a PT right after surgery. The arm started swelling earlier this year. Have read that this microsurgery is becoming more common and is often successful. Also, it seems to be more effective at early stages. I am currently in stage 1 for lymphedema and I have been taking Kisqali and Anastrozole for 18 months. Hoping I can have LVA surgery at Mayo Phoenix. Any relevant experience or advice?
