We know the lymphadema therapist who treated him has left that agency and we don�t know where she is now, plus I think that my husband wouldn�t want to confess he stopped doing the exercises and massage for a while when he was supposed to keep them up forever. Since he has started with them again he isn�t complaining as much � only when I ask he says it still bothers him some so I am even hesitant to ask him. I think that the exercises and massage are again helping him a bit; he just doesn�t want to admit they do help and really doesn�t want to have to do them forever. I am never exactly sure how much, how often to ask him how he is feeling. Good luck with your mom. I am sorry she is having more issues. Thank you.
