Flying with lymphedema

Hello,

I'm new to this message board but I was hoping that someone could help me. My Nanna has been recently diagnosed with Lymphedema and we're just getting her settled into treatments. She has had two mastectomies during the last 18 months.

We are going for a family vacation at Christmas and some people have told her that she will need to wear a special sleeve on her arm with the lymphedema when travelling and others have told her not to. I was wondering if anyone could offer any advice or experience with flying with lymphedema.

Thanks very much,

Cary's Nanna
