Shelley,

My Oncol set me up with a massage thearapist for lymphodemia and my insurance paid for 100%. It took three sessions for me to learn how to do it correctly. It is really easy and takes about 20 min a day. I dont need to do it every day any more as my lymph fluid has found and are using the "new pathways".

Happy and Safe,
Robert Hamilton
