Lymphedema Swelling increase

curepink · March 2011

Goodday to everyone

Hi my mom have Lymphedema because of cancer blockage. She had chemotheraphy two weeks ago and the lymphedema swelling went down alot and i was able to see her veins. And her next chemotheraphy appointment is next week because Oncologist said she would need to do it every three weeks. But now after two weeks past 1st chemotheraphy the swelling started to increase. I am kinda freaking out. Did anyone have this problem or can anyone give advice.

Thankyou all, i will be waiting for your response.

Godbless you all.

Your best bet is to get some input from a LANA certified lymphedema therapist. There are options for your mom, and one of these therapists is the best source of info.

Curepink: we created a web site devoted to lymphedema issues, and I think if you and your mother have a look at it, it should answer a lot of your questions about lymphedema.

The best bet is to get her evaluated by a qualified lymphedema therapist: here's the link and it will take you to the site

Hope your mother is feeling well, and it sounds like you're a great help to her.
