I was given a referral to a physical therapist who is experienced in lymphatic massage. The therapist showed my husband how to do it as well. However, it has been over 2 years since my cancer treatments ended and I still have the lymphedema in my neck.....although it isn't as severe. I just try to massage it a little every day when I put lotion on. My MO said that it may never go away completely because of the lymph node damage.
