west here ford shire

Fuck this scared the shit out of me last week!!

So my lymph glands around my jaw, neck possibly under my arms have been damaged probably beyond repair, (intensive radiotherapy)...

So now, any foods that make my neck swell, (curry, sweet n sour, tomatoes)

I can no longer eat!

No sunbathing ever.

Any scratches, stings or bites to my neck, I have to seek urgent medical attention.

I have to wear moisturiser every day for the rest of my life. ( some may think I did anyway)

I have piled books under my mattress as I must keep my head above my body to allow drainage of fluid to the glands remaining that still work...

All scared stuff

Are you allowed MLD? Manual Lymphatic Drainage by a specialist massage therapist can drain the lymph glands and also try to 'reassign' the lymph to use a different route to working nodes where it can drain more naturally. It's not ordinary massage, the therapists are trained by medical doctors and professors. There is a .org website for finding trained professionals.

Good luck.
