Arm, leg or breast lymphedema are permanent and never go away.

I have breast lymphedema and have to do breast and chest massage every day for the rest of my life.

30 minutes of massage that has to be done daily no matter what…..

I only had a lumpectomy and sentinel node removal and still was one of the few in this category who got lymphedema.

I went to 2 different certified lymphedema PTs. and spent at least 4 months on visits.

No tattoo is worth this risk.

You have better use of your life than an added daily burden.

10 years after lymph nodes removed they won't start an IV, draw blood, take Blood Pressures in that arm because of the possibility of lymph-edema so I wouldn't chance it.

Thank you for replying I won’t get it done x

I live in dread of lymphedema and wouldn’t risk any needles on my affected arm.

Neither would I but talk to your team of doctors and see how they feel about it.
