HI everyone - ages since I’ve been on here - just freaking out thinking about going away this saturday and wondering if my left arm will survive longhaul without its first trip to lymphodema land - I had 18 lymph nodes removed 2.5 years ago and have been fine but havent flown yet - any experiencves to share??
thanks Moorcow
p.s. the moor I look over is in newcastle - you can imagine that it was pretty dramatic last thursday - it turned from green to brown - a very muddy lake!
Hi
I had 18 nodes removed Jan 2011 and flew to SA earlier this year with no ill effects. I did get a ver mild compression sleeve to wear - but the LD physio I saw didn’t think it was really necessary.
I made sure I got up every couple of hours and walked about a bit and I also did stretching exercises while I was sitting down.
Hope all goes well for you - are you off anywhere nice?
Dx
thanks thats very reassuring - off to canada to see my god son get married! cheers Moorcow
Hi,
I had 12 lymph nodes removed on 4th May this year and flew to the Caribbean on 25<sup>th</sup> May with the blessing of my surgeon. It all went well both way 
Relax and enjoy your holiday
