Also, Oncology Massage done by an Oncology Massage Therapist is tremendously helpful. Great video. 👍

Thank you for all the great and informative videos! Regarding dry brushing, is there anything different to do for the chest and neck due to having a port?

Hi! I have shoulder pain in my right that initiated with a pull from my dog on a walk. It resolved, but came back with my Covid shots and 6 months later is still here. I cannot get any shots on my left side due to high risk of lymphedema. Unfortunately there is long a wait for PT at my local clinic. Can you recommend any exercises I can try between now and then? What do patients do who have risk of lymphedema on both sides?

Thank you. It has been almost 4 years since I had lymph nodes removed during a radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. I only received a 2 page pamphlet. I think I’m going to find your channel extremely helpful.
