Is there a cure yet for secondary lymphadema after breast cancer. i am stage 2 now.

Family practice : If you had a mastectomy they probably removed the lymph nodes to determine spread. In doing so the drainage system is disrupted. You will develop edema and swelling more easily. I don't know of any cure however.

Can improve: Lymphedema can be seen after both node dissection and sentinel node biopsy and having a mastectomy or lumpectomy doesn't make a difference. Ways to improve this includes (1) compression sleeves, (2) arm exercises / physical therapy, and (3) weight reduction if overweight or obese. Would recommend going to a lymphedema clinic if there is one in your area.
