Hi, I had esophageal cancer which was treated with chemo radiation and surgery. Since they found cancer in my lymph nodes when I had surgery I am on immunotherapy. 9 months after surgery a Ct scan found a mass in lymph nodes in my abdomen. They need to do a biopsy and a pet scan to see if cancer has returned and moved further. I am glad they are monitoring me after surgery and they have caught it early. Cheers.
This is brilliant, thank you! It also seems like a routine that can be done while traveling, even while seated in a plane, to help prevent any lymphedema. It’s really nice to have some tools to use in that situation.
You are an angel to do all this beautiful helpful work God Bless you and thank you so much. I’m so glad I found this site. Iv done 3 sets of 10 minute exercise. And the massage also drinking more water. Raising my legs above my heart for half an hour twice a day. My legs are looking beautiful and slim. I know I must keep this up it’s going to become a way of life. My pain is very slightly easing but still I’m walking on my heels. ❤
The various LMTs I've worked with usually did the massages in a certain order, saying you need to clear away the clogs to let the lymph fluid from the other areas pass. Do you recommend this too? Lymphedema seems to still be a new area of medicine and therapy and there seems to be many ways to basically do the same things but I've found that some LMT's say one thing and other ones say something completely different. All the ones I've worked with have been a part of Intermountain Health in Utah. I will say that you and the other certified lymphedema therapists have been a fount of knowledge, MUCH more knowledgeable on lymphedema than any doctor I've seen in the past 20 years, and I've been searching hard and asking questions of them and only gotten shrugs or a blank stare when I bring up Lymphedema. Keep up the great work. I've been sending people the link to your channel since I discovered it last year.
This is my own thoughts on the subject of swimming if you have lymphedema. I used to work in a clubhouse office for an HOA in a very nice neighborhood. It had a pool and I know first hand how dirty a public pool and be. So my advice is if you're using a public pool get there when they first open up and the chemicals in the water and filters have had overnight to do their work. I'd also recommend showering off as soon as you get out of the pool, use soap if allowed. Never go into a pool if you have a break in your skin like a scrape or especially if you have a wound caused by lymphedema. (aka Leaky Leg or Arm). Bacteria can enter through the break in the skin and things can go downhill from there. This applies if you have lymphedema or not. Some great tips I got from my lymphedema therapist. I had a bout of sepsis and when I got home from the hospital I was in a lot of pain for almost 2 months. My therapist suggested getting in a pool, and it worked like a miracle. It was the only time in those weeks that the pain went almost completely away! But as soon as I got out of the water the pain came back. Also, they guided me through exercises I could do in the pool using the resistance of the water to make the exercise give even better results then they would on land or using machines. The therapy pool at the facility (in the Health and Wellness Center) was heated and they even had a treadmill in the pool, which was easier on the knees than on land.
Thank you so very much for this I am aware of the importance of the lymphatic system. I will share this with a friend who just finished her breast cancer treatment. This is very very important thank you. I will definitely be doing these as well. Stay well my friend.
Great video !!! I try and do the face/neck everyday for my allergies...Kelly in this video do you suggest starting at the groin and working upwards ? or should I follow you and start with deep belly breaths? THANK YOU
Hello! I am not a cancer patient, but am very interested in keeping my lymphatic system healthy. I am so excited to watch all of your videos. One question for you: I am contemplating using a rebounder, but have mild back (L4) arthritis. Do you think I can successfully increase lymphatic health without the rebounding, or is the rebounding really the best/ most essential way? I am thinking that very mild rebounding would be beneficial without increasing back issues.
Hello ur thanks to give a lots of infirmation.i just want to ask a question i hv inflamation in my neck and my armpit only right side .suggest any exercise .thanks
Hello! I have advanced cancer on my right breast ang my right arm is now swelling my lymphstic system is affected what advice can you give me or remedy you can advice. Thanks
It's great video,I had mastectomy and axillary lymph nodes dissect ,and having swollen under the armpit that's beside the arm ,how to drain that ,please suggest me with that too.whst kind of exercise can be done .,to completely drain that ....
Firstable thank you for this video❤ I have a question though: what about hard small balls located in my armpit nodes? It is moving easily when I touch it with my fingers and is not hurting, but is very hard. Do I have to worry? I have it since childhood
Ive been to oncologist and had many scans done to figure out why i have a swollen lymph node for years in my neck on the left under the ear, can’t figure it out.. do you think these exercises will be effective in helping?
@@CancerRehabPT Thank you!! I have a couple more questions..How many times a week should you dry brush with a healthy lymph system?? And should dry brush before exercise? Thank you so much!! Appreciate your level of professionalism and expertise!!
@CancerRehabPT I believe I must have old information. I was taught not to massage or stimulate lymph during cancer nor bad infection as that can make cancer cells or infection travel from one place to another effectively spreading cancer (or bad infection) to a different part of the body. Has this been debunked and it’s safe to manipulate the lymph now? Please
it's best to check with a doctor to learn what it is for each person, but generally, those are called a dowagers hump and it's related to the spineal curve
@@CancerRehabPT yes my osteopath said itwas a dowagers hump she said she could get to go down with some adjustments soi was wondering if you had any movements that could help it go down 🤔 Thanks Janet Wood
Can the valves associated with the lymphatic system become defective like the valves in veins become defective for some? I have venous stasis and chronic venous insufficiency - I am certain this adversely affects my lympathic flow - or lack thereof - I have a neuropathy problem whose cause is unidentified (suspected to be autoimmune though)....also I have no adenoids or tonsils, and my speen on a CT report said splenomegaly....so it would seem the thymus is really the only other thing hopefully doing its part to help keep the lymphatic system in balance - but I know the thymus gland shrinks as you get older....maybe it is misinforming the t-cells that it is educating and that is leading to autoimmunity? Can you please speak to the lymphatic system portion of my comment? Thank you so much for your video.
I had right breast cancer and this year 2024 it has gone after chemotherapy and prayer to the Lord Jesus Christ, no surgery. But it spread to my right underarm lymph nodes, causing lymphoedema from last year 2023 and now all year I have a disabled right arm very severely restricting movement, disabled stiff hard like metal right hand and fingers and thumb not able to move and zero strength with floppy palsy wrist 100% out of action! What is this weirdness? Why did all these things happen? I am ONE-HANDED now!
Your Lymphatic system CAN NOT FUNCTION properly if you do not provide the key material which your lymphatic system runs on - ANIMAL FAT. Not poisonous plant OIL but animal fat. If your body lacks FAT then it will start to take it from your skin and also your bones, to make sure the Lymphatic system works because this is the most important part of your body's detox system. So why vegans get wrinkly skin and many women get osteoporosis is easily explained. You have been made scared to eat MEAT - the correct food for humans - and now you are all sick. Hydration is nonsense, you lack FAT not water. We are never meant to drink water. Massaging anything is no replacement for keeping active throughout the day. You especially need to walk as much as possible because your calf muscles are key for internal movement of fluids. Good luck.
