Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She is treated for breast cancer. Lymphatic obstruction is the common complication in breast cancer and it leads to lymphoedema and swelling of arm and hand. No need to worry. Just wear compression stock bandage. It will clear within few days. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
