Second mastectomy preventive?

Mastectomy, lymph node removal stage 3 advice
Hi everyone. I had mastectomy and lymph node removal done and had swelling in my arm. Went for advice to a lymphodaema clinic and was told how to massage, exercise and was given a arm stocking to reduce the swelling. I found that keeping my weight down to a normal level and exercising helped. Also
