Guest guest Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Acorrding to my Oncon...even with just removal of sentinel nodes you can still get the dang stuff. Chances are less likely but they are still there, That is why I wear the sleeve!!!! Taken no chances, because once you get it you never get rid of it!!!!! Also just becuase you don't get it in one year doesn't mean you will never get it!!! It can even wait 5 to 10 years then it happens! Better safe than sorry!!

Better safe than sorry!! > I checked up lymphedema with a web search, and the Wikipedia has pictures! If you need inspiration to avoid lymphedema, just look at those! They also say that the low pressure from flying in airplanes can cause it, so be aware of that. Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
