I have one quick question and am hoping someone can answer it please. since the fibula free flap March 08 the lymphedema in my neck and chin seems to be getting worse. During my last visit with my oncologist she did not seem concerned. I attended a lymphedema clinic here in Winston-Salem for 3 visits and they proved they knew nothing about how to treat the edema. During my third and may I say last visit she actually brought a book into the room and after 45 mins of "treatment" she told me to see if Dr. Couch would send me to a therapist in Chapel Hill to set up a plan of treatment and send it to them. Please, someone give me a little advice about whether there is anything that can help.
