This video came up in my YouTube feed when I was looking for self massage videos to help the puffiness below my simple mastectomy and lymph removal scars about a year after my surgery. Four lymph nodes were removed and turned out to be negative for cancer. I had mostly stopped my self massage when I really didn't see much change in the puffiness. Your technique was different since the chest sweeping was done with great pressure than I had been taught. It also included the squeezing in the axilla. I starting using it two times a day, morning and evening. and truly believe I can see the swelling reduce. I'm not completely sure why in a couple of instances in the video you have the patient squeeze the axilla on the side from which she started to sweep, but I follow every technique shown. Thank you for making this video. It has really given me hope. I am suspecting that I will have to keep performing the massage for the rest of my life to keep the lymph flowing.

I have chest lymphedema and found your video most helpful. Where can I get the foam ball in US?
