Lymphedema Education contd.....

𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐋𝐘𝐌𝐏𝐇𝐄𝐃𝐄𝐌𝐀

Treatment depends on how severe the problem is. Treatment includes ways to help prevent and manage the condition, and may include:

1. Exercise- Exercise helps improve lymph drainage. Specific exercises will be advised by your doctor or physical therapist.

2. Bandages- Wearing a compression sleeve or elastic bandage may help to move fluid, and prevent the buildup of fluid.

3. Diet and weight management- Eating a healthy diet and controlling body weight is an important part of treatment.

4. Keeping the arm raised- Raising the arm above the level of the heart when possible lets gravity help drain the fluid.

5. Preventing infection- It’s important to protect the skin in the affected area from drying, cracking, infection and skin breakdown.

6. Massage therapy- Massage by someone trained in lymphedema treatment can help move fluid out of the swollen area.

If you're looking for a massage therapist specialising in breast and arm lymphedema, call me at 778-683-6994. I have some reliable recommendations.

Protecting the arm on the side of the surgery is very important after breast surgery. Poor drainage of the lymphatic system can cause that arm to be more at risk of infection and less sensitive to extreme temperature. Be aware of activities that put too much pressure on the affected arm. To protect your arm from injury and infection, make sure to do the following:
>Ask for injections and blood draws to be done on the unaffected arm.
>Ask for all blood pressure tests to be done on the unaffected arm.
>Don't wear nightgowns or clothing with elastic cuffs or tight bands.
>Carry your handbag or heavy packages with the unaffected arm.
>Be very careful and use a clean razor when shaving underarms.
>Prevent sunburns and other burns to the affected arm.
>Wear gloves when gardening and when using strong household cleaners.
>Avoid extreme hot or cold temperatures on the affected arm, such as hot tubs, saunas, and heating pads or ice packs.
>Take good care of your fingernails and don’t cut or bite your cuticles.
>Clean all cuts with soap and water, and then apply antibacterial ointment and a sterile dressing.
>Protect your fingers from needle pricks and sharp objects. Use a thimble when sewing.
>Avoid vigorous, repetitive movements against resistance, such as scrubbing, pulling, or pushing with the affected arm.
Tell your doctor right away if you have any signs of infection, such as redness, pain, heat, increased swelling, or fever.
Make these precautions part of your daily habits and plan to follow them 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄.
Compare your hands and arms. Look at them in the mirror. Learn what's normal for you so you can notice changes right away.

March is Lymphedema Awareness Month.
Here's some Lymphedema education, just so you're aware.....

The lymphatic system is a network of tiny vessels and small, bean-shaped organs called lymph nodes that carry lymph throughout the body. Lymph is a clear, colorless fluid that contains a few blood cells. The lymphatic system is part of your immune system.

Often during breast cancer treatment, some or all of the lymph nodes under the arm are treated with radiation, or removed with surgery. This disrupts the flow of lymph, which can lead to swelling. This is lymphedema.

When many lymph nodes under the arm have been removed, a woman is at higher risk of lymphedema for the rest of her life. Radiation treatments to the under arm lymph nodes can cause scarring and blockages that further increase the risk of lymphedema. Lymphedema may occur right after surgery or radiation, or months or even years later.

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐚:

A mild type of lymphedema can occur within a few days after surgery and usually lasts a short time.

Lymphedema can also occur about 4 to 6 weeks after surgery or radiation and then go away over time.

The most common type of lymphedema is painless and may slowly develop 18 to 24 months or more after surgery. It does not get better without treatment.

Lymphedema can happen any time after surgery or radiation to the lymph nodes. The risk continues for the rest of the person's life. Lymphedema can’t be cured, but it can be managed. Any swelling should be checked by a healthcare provider right away.

There's no way to know who will and won't get lymphedema, but there are things that can be done to help prevent it.

𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐥𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐚 𝐛𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝?

Women treated for breast cancer who have good skin care and who exercise after treatment are less likely to develop lymphedema. Newer types of lymph node surgery have also helped decrease lymphedema risk. But there is no sure way to prevent lymphedema.

𝐒𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐚

The main symptom of lymphedema after breast cancer treatment is swelling of the arm on the side where lymph nodes have been removed. The amount of swelling may vary. Some people may have severe swelling (edema) with the affected arm being several inches larger than the other arm. Others will have a milder form of edema with the affected arm being slightly larger than the other arm.

Other symptoms of lymphedema may include:

Feeling of fullness, heaviness, or tightness in the arm, chest, or armpit area

Bra, clothing, or jewelry don't fit as normal

Aching or new pain in the arm

Trouble bending or moving a joint, such as the fingers, wrist, elbow, or shoulder

Swelling in the hand

Thickening of or changes in the skin

Weakness in the arm

If you notice any of these symptoms, see your healthcare provider right away. Treatment needs to be started right away to keep lymphedema from getting worse. See less

✨ International Women’s Day | Celebrating Courage & Resilience

Today we celebrate the strength, courage, and stories of women who turn their challenges into purpose.

One of those incredible women is Rangoli Gupta — physician, mother, entrepreneur, and breast cancer survivor.

After facing breast cancer and the life-changing journey of recovery, Rangoli discovered something many women silently struggle with — how difficult it can be to feel whole, confident, and beautiful again. That experience inspired her to create Inner Beauty Breast Care, helping women regain dignity, comfort, and confidence after mastectomy.

Today, Rangoli’s story is being shared as a co-author in the book FACES – Greater Vancouver — a powerful collection of stories from 50 remarkable women making an impact in our communities.

Her journey reminds us that when women share their stories, they create strength for others. 💜

On International Women’s Day, we honour women like Rangoli who transform pain into purpose and help other women rise.

📖 FACES – Greater Vancouver is now available on Amazon.

Let’s celebrate women who inspire change.
Let’s celebrate stories that empower others.

Happy International Women’s Day 🌷
