swollen lymph nodes adema

 

I know someone who had breast cancer and had the breast and nodes removed

under her arm 7 years ago and now her whole arm and hand is grossly

swollen

since. No medical treatment has seemed to work. Any idea on what she can

do?

Thanks,

LG

 

Hi LG

LDM (Lymph Drainage Massage) is worth looking at.

A therapist trained in this speciality may be able to help *redirect* the

lymph flow toward active glands. This link may explain better than I can at

the moment (late in UK!)

(I hope that works, my *copy/past* wont work just now, so I've typed it

out...) if not, just put Manual Lymph Drainage into Google and check out the

results......

LG,

 

This sounds like your friend has developed lymphedema. This is a serious

condition that

needs prompt, proper attention. Lymph Drainage Therapy with bandaging can be

very

helpful. It is important that the practitioner have specialized training in

treating

lymphedema.

 

Here are a couple of resources for information and to find a trained

practitioner:

If you have any difficulty with this search system, feel free to contact me off

list and I will

try to help you locate someone in your area.

 

Also, here is the link for the National Lymphedema Network. There is good

information

and resources for treatment. It looks like they have a good database of

practitioners.

Hi LG,

 

Here are a couple of links to info on lymphedema that might help.

http://www.breastcancer.org/lymphedema_info.html

http://www.lymphnet.org/

 

Since my sister and I lost our right breast to cancer, she had a few

less nodes removed than I did, but we both know the dangers of

lymphedema happening. We both do movements with our arms each day to

help dump the toxins from that area and Pray that this will keep it

from happening. I know ladies that were not given any treatment and

then found info on how to treat themselves and have had some good

results with the swelling going down quite a bit. Not gone

completely, but more manageable they say. Hope this is of help to

your friend. :-)

 

God Bless your life's walk

I too would agree to this. I have seen very good results from massage

therapist that specialises in lymph drainage. It is very soft and

gentle but has great results and they can teach them to do a little on

their own (which should help also between treatments).
