This is called lymphedema. Research shows that lymphedema can affect a woman's ability to complete daily activities, as well as her emotions and overall quality of life (how someone is doing).The purpose of this study is to look at the effects of an education program versus education plus a special exercise program on whether or not a woman gets lymphedema.
