lymphoedema Hi,

I got lymphoedema about 4 months after chemo, rad and electron therapy. It has been fairly manageable but have had to have different strengths of arm stockings which are fine in Winter but so hot in hot weather. Does anyone know can you do anything to help swelling an not have to wear supports in hot temperatures?

Thanks
Treakle xx
