After one year investigation on my left leg edema, visiting cardio vascular surgeon (2) and checking my heart etc. for blockage a visit at the emergency hospital to fnd out what was wrong . the answer was it is lymphedema stage 2. I already had 10 lymphatic massages with very little results (I have 7 layers bandage/from my toe to my hip) I need to keep 24 hrs. one hr off for my shower. 3 years I had breast cancer on my right - they removed 24 lymp nodes my right arm is now ok. 6 chemo treatment for Her 2 new stege 2B plus 35 radiation treatments. I am 77 yrs old. Kind of frustrated on my doctors care (chemo oncologist.physician assistant. naturopath care)do you recommand laser therapy, or a pump). I live away from hospital and getting the care I need is very difficult Any suggestion??? Thanks
