I have compression wrapping on by left arm and both feet and legs to stimulate lymph drainage.

Hello @sixfour‍, thank you for sharing with us! Has the lymphedema been brought on by your WM? Are the compressions helping?

Has anyone else experienced lymphedema with your lymphoma treatments? How did you treat it? Did you use compression bands or socks? What helped you the most?

Feel free to share any experiences or advice here!

Take care,

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
