Breast Cancer - LWO Community Members Story

By Mary Fickling on Mar 06 2022.
Following my breast cancer diagnosis in 2007, I developed very mild lymphoedema in my right arm, non-cancerous side. This was due to an incorrectly inserted PICC line for chemo administration. It didn't cause me much distress and I didn't wear a sleeve. However, in the summer of 2013, which was a warm one, my right arm swelled very quickly one day.

As I had a spare sleeve, I was able to control it very quickly.
