Carmen,

I will look again on the site. I carried a stuffed animal under my arm for about six weeks. It's been over two years and so far, no lymphedema. I hope my brother will be as fortunate.

Does it help to sleep in a recliner after oral cancer surgery? I would think that lying flat could cause accumulation of fluid.

Congrats on your clear PET. smile
