I asked about Gordon's lymphedema at the clinic we go to and no one seemed to have a clue or any knowledge of this kind of therapy. And this is at what is reputedly the best cancer clinic in Canada! A nurse asked us vaguely if Gordon had any trouble swallowing or breathing. When I said no, that was that.
