For High Risk Lymphoedema Ladies - Shopping Questions

Hello,

Recently had an axillary node clearance/ALND so am hyper focused on preventing lymphoedema. One thing I am wondering about since summer is upon us is purchasing a new swimsuit with long sleeves/front zip as getting sunburned supposedly increases risks. Roxy seems to have some cute ones I've found so far.

Any other purchases or things to think about?

I also want to do microblading before chemo but Claude (AI) advised against it due to inflammatory risk - which I had not considered! It said any inflammation on the affected side of the body could increase the risk. Thoughts?

Another thought, I regularly carry a cute backpack when I travel - do I have to stop this now??? What should I do instead?

Also, anyone not do anything they advised and not gotten it? Or did you get it and can map it back to something specific?

Thanks for any insights.
