Prayers for her and I admire her courage

Very clear, organized and helpful. I have learned a lot from this video and will use your technique. Thanks

[@4tarakirk]

Love this, very easy to follow along. May I suggest you compete the prompts in reverse on video, I forget them and fumbling through is distracting 🙏🏼💛

[@mdanderson]

Thank you for this feedback. We'll pass it along. Best wishes to you.

Thanks for this easy-to-follow instruction, it is helpful. Funny I have the same dressing gown in dark blue.

Found it very informative. Is there anywhere to get a written copy of these massage technics as I'm not always at the computer or have access to one and would be easy to follow written directions.

[@mdanderson]

Hi Linda, you can print out the instructions here: www.mdanderson.org/patient-education/Rehabilitation/Lymphedema-Upper-Extremity-Manual-Lymph-Drainage.pdf. Best wishes to you.

What is the device she’s using for her back?

[@kharmingposo3528]

Can this technique be use for someone who has lympedema but suffering from axilliary deep vien thrombosis?

[@mdanderson]

We encourage you to talk to your care team to request a referral to a lymphedema therapist to discuss your concerns. Best wishes to you.

How often should one do this after a mastectomy?

[@mdanderson]

Hi there, we encourage you to talk to your care team to discuss your individual treatment recommendations. Best wishes to you.

What to do if you have had a double mastectomy and both sides are affected.
