I have wonder for the last few years if there was any relief. Lucky for me I just found this site, and I live in California, and LA is 45 minutes away. I am going to call tomorrow to inquire what is available. Did you ever follow up on the web site?

  corcoran corinne Hi all, I have been diagnosed with right arm lymphedema - had breast cancer with 21 nodes removed, 17 cancerous. This was in 2003 and now in 2011 I get it.

This was in 2003 and now in 2011 I get it. Woh, I thought I was safe from this after all these years. Any chance this is a mis-diagnosis or am I in denial? I am looking for a 'good' therapist in Ottawa Canada - any suggestions? I believe I am at the very early stage(stage 1??). I have started the compression pump therapy and am told this will go on for about a week. Then the sleeve with regular monitoring.(assuming all goes well) May have to use the compression pump periodically. Does this make sense and is there a chance that this will not get worse. Also, is it OK for me to play golf and scuba dive? Woh, that is alot of questions. Hope someone can help!!! Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give. Corinne. p.s. I speak english and french if this helps.  less

    Deleted Member Corinne, I will send a list of therapists from Canada to your email on here. Also a great book you should look into is 100 Questions and Answers About Lymphedema. I have attached a link here. http://www.lymphedemaproducts.com/products/b-8.html

Lymphedema can come on at any time after having the nodes removed. How did you get a pump, did someone recomend one? I would definitly recommend going to a therapist for manual lymph drainage massage and not the pump. Best of luck. In any case it is a lifestyle change to keep good managment of the lymphedema.
