There are many controversial recommendations circulating about lymphedema risk after breast cancer surgery, such as a mastectomy or lumpectomy. What causes lymphedema after breast cancer surgery? What is true and what is not? Why is there so much confusion? In today's video, which is part 3 of a series, we are going to go through 3 different myths about lymphedema after breast cancer surgery. Do manicures or gardening cause lymphedema? Do 1-2 lymph nodes removed no longer place me at risk for lymphedema? I had breast cancer surgery 3-5 years ago, am I no longer at risk?
00:00 Intro
00:57 Manicures and Gardening
03:28 Only a couple lymph nodes removed
05:09 Multiple years out of Breast Surgery
