After my mastectomy my right arm swelled up. At those times, I drank as much water as I could. During hot flashes the lymphedema arm would sweat and the other one didnt. I tried wrapping, lymphatic massage, I even bought the $5,000. Mini pump, and nothing worked. I felt like a failure to them. The nurses in charge of the lymphedema clinic have given up on me. Eventually I will be hospitalized for end of life care. Will the arm go down then? Or will I die with 2 different arms?
