Guest guest Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I have a friend who was diagnosed with breast cancer. I believe it was stage I. Her doctor also tested to see if her breast cancer spread to the lymph node by scraping the lymph node. Results showed it did not. She had the tumor removed and opted for the radiation treatment. (Now cancer free!) Her doctor suggested that she buy a sleeve used for compression to help control swelling in high altitudes like when she travels in an airplane. My understanding is that you only need the sleeve if you had your lymph node removed. Was her doctor correct for her to buy the sleeve?
