Happy new year to you Jen. I just want to thank you so much for your informative and supportive videos on your channel. You have helped me tremendously throughout my journey.xx

Hi, I have venous cording from chemo through a cannula. There is no information anywhere online about this (so thanks for this video) and my hospital haven't helped. My cording limits my mobility and is very painful. Do you have any advice to treat it? Do the same kind of exercises work as nerve cording?
Hi Rosanne, Thank you for your feedback. I have recently referred one of my patients with venous issues to a Vascular Specialist for review. I think massage and light compression sleeves can alleviate symptoms, but I would recommend seeing a Vascular Specialist. I have a Private Facebook Group called 'The Compass Community' - a global online Breast Cancer Education & Support Network with weekly live education sessions and Q&A. I will be able to assist you more on this platform. Here is the link if you would like to join: facebook.com/groups/breastcancercompasscommunity
Good morning, Dr. Jen, I think this is what troubling my shoulder and arm. I just don't know how to describe it to my drs. How is venous cording diagnosed? Again, thank you.
Hi, venous cording would be diagnosed by your current history and observation of signs by a trained Health Professional, so best to discuss with your Medical Team. Venous cording has to occur on the arm that has had repeated cannulas secondary to chemotherapy. I hope this helps. Jen
