I was curious to find out where most centers start the baseline measuring process and who keeps the logs for prevention purposes. Is it the Medical Oncologist, Breast Surgeon, Plastic Surgeon or patient? Thank you. I am doing some research for work on Lymphedema.

The lymphedema patients can take advantage of this edict and claim a compensation for these medically essential items that help them to manage the lymphedema.\" This is not the case. I have just spoken to Medicare representatives - they will not cover these sleeves under any circumstance - only the pump. I feel this article should be corrected.
