    Sheri - don't know the odds but on a positive note for you I broke my arm bone up in my shoulder in 3 places in October and I did not develop lymphedema even though I had 5 nodes removed.  I did worry about LE. 

    I flew back in March - wore my sleeve and glove.  On the return trip I forgot to put them on - the flight was 2.5 hours so I was stressing for weeks wondering if I messed up really good.  But it seems that all is ok.
