                        Your friend may wish to consult with a wholistic medical practice if her lymphademia (sp?) can be affected by massage.  There is a technique that specially trained massage therapists can do to unclog the lympth system and it is covered by Medicare.  Check if the massage therapist is licensed in lymph drainage.
