Thank you! Yes this is what my breast oncologist told me and a lot of older breast cancer survivors scared me telling me all this other stuff that isnt true. A lot of older survivors seem to not want to work out and i almost wonder if thats why the "working out is bad for it" myth started going around. I'm someone who did a lot of weight lifting prior to breast cancer and missed doing it. Ive started with light weights. Been a journey on and off for 9 years. Stop and go with surgeries and biopsies but always tried to call my doctor or text her to make sure i was doing the right thing. .. i also noticed this with diet post breast cancer. People just give up and start eating a lot of sweets and junk food. We didnt survive to have low quality of life ladies!!
Thank you hun very much,.... appreciate you and your videos!
I’m so happy I can help! 😊
I suffer from the primary lymphedema on the left leg. I live in France where the compression garments are partially covered by the insurance system. The best method is the self bandage with about 3 layers of the bandages, and I also bandage the toes when I sleep, it works wonders. The drainage helps only at about 2% ! So I stopped doing it and do not take the trouble anymore. I also swim and cycle a lot, plus I practice yoga. I wear the class 3 stockings all the time. Surgery is impossible and they told me it was too risky.
Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
So can I do weight training with no fear of re-occurring of lymphedema or affecting it badly
I have had liposuction done , is there a possibilty for reoccuring again ?
I tried both surgeries LVNT and LVA, but unfortunatly they did not work and no improvment
Thank you so much.
You’re so welcome! 😊
Thank you. I suffer with hot flashes and sometimes I'll have them for 2 months straight. They cause the lymphedema in my breast and underarm to swell and it's painful. I can't stand to wear the Prarie compression bra because I'm burning up. I use K Tape on the breast but getting it off.😵
You're supposed to take it off after getting it wet and soapy. Not rip it off dry skin. Stretch the skin in the opposite direction with your free hand. I hope this helps.
@katiepayne2479 Yeah, I never ripped it off. I learned real quick to oil it up and gently remove it. It also helps for it to be wet and then apply oil.
I’m looking into plastic surgery
Microsurgical vascularized lymph node transfert ( VLNT) or Lymphovenous bypass ( LVA ) ? we want testimonials from patients!, yes we want testimonials from patients!
Čitala sam da operacija nije rješenje.Zašto limfedem nastaje upravo u bolnicama?
@@samarijana Yes, lymphodema is in fact created in hospitals: it is the result of the irradiation of lymphatic cells, often during cancer treatment.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
If i go on swimming, does it mean i have to wear the compression stockings while i go on swimming ?
I have been using compression stockings for more than 6 months and i make handwash on it? The compression stockings is quite expensive and was thinking to replace it after year? is that okay?
@GRACE - As Kelly said in the video, the compression in stockings stops working efficiently after 4 to 6 months and have to be replaced. Unfortunately, in the USA, insurance companies frequently do not cover the cost of lymphedema supplies. I would think that while you are swimming, you would not need to wear the stockings, but check with your lymphedema therapist about your individual needs. If you DO wear them - in salt water, unfiltered fresh water, or a chlorinated pool, I would advise washing them out as soon as you can. I hand-wash mine, too, and rinse well, but follow the company's instructions.
@@MossyMozart thank you🙏
