Cancer-Related Lymphedema
Support for the Swelling You Didn't Expect
If you're a cancer survivor experiencing swelling after treatment, you are not alone. Many people develop secondary lymphedema following cancer-related therapies like radiation, chemotherapy, or lymph node removal. This swelling can be frustrating, uncomfortable, and sometimes even painful—but it's also manageable with the right care.
At our clinic, we specialize in helping individuals navigate post-cancer swelling with compassion, expertise, and personalized treatment.
Why Does Swelling Happen After Cancer Treatment?
Cancer treatments—especially surgeries that involve lymph node removal or radiation therapy—can damage or interrupt the lymphatic system. When lymph fluid is no longer able to flow freely, it builds up in the tissues, leading to swelling known as secondary lymphedema.
This condition can develop weeks, months, or even years after treatment, and commonly affects the arms, legs, chest, abdomen, or groin depending on the cancer site.
You May Have Secondary Lymphedema If You Notice:
- Swelling that comes and goes or becomes persistent in an arm, leg, or other part of the body
- A feeling of heaviness, tightness, or decreased flexibility in the affected area
- Skin that feels firmer, thicker, or more sensitive than usual
- Jewelry or clothing feeling tighter than before
- Skin infections or inflammation (cellulitis)
Our Specialized Cancer Recovery Support Includes:
A gentle, precise technique that helps move lymph fluid out of the affected area.
Custom-fitted compression solutions to control swelling and prevent progression.
