It worked well for me in conjunction with manual lymphatic massages. I still have the garment, but have not needed to use it for awhile. Now I use the massages to maintain my neck. Good luck!
The number of people involved in my care (@ a CCC) is humbling. Doctors, nurses, therapists, support staff, & of course, family. With everyone fighting for me to beat cancer the least I can do is fight back and win!
