Dear Jack,

Another holistic suggestion: reflexology massage.  I had a massage last week
(the first one I ever had)  and while the therapist was massaging my feet she
said that a certain area on the top of my foot was for lymph drainage from
the chest?  When she proceeded to do my upper arms I had deep burning pain in
the area where she said  the drainage occurs.  I have fibrocystic disease of
the breast (have had 2 surgeries for removal of fibroadenoma's) and alot of
breast density so I found it very interesting that she picked that up.  I'm
sure that breast densities interfere with proper drainage whether it be lymph
or milk.

Anyway,  maybe your client would benefit from massage and reflexology for
those areas.  Just a thought.
