Lymphedema is a lifelong condition that will get worse over time if it is left untreated or not managed well.

There are four stages of lymphedema that reflect its progress from early to advanced. The signs of lymphedema and the treatment needed are different at each stage. When you are diagnosed with lymphedema, a certified lymphedema therapist can assess your stage. Knowing the stage helps the therapist develop the best treatment plan for you.

We want to hear from you!

Pathways is looking for personal experiences from individuals living with lymphedema. Your journey could inspire and empower others, offering hope, insight, and a sense of connection.

March is Colorectal Awareness Month.

Colorectal cancer affects everyone. Colorectal cancer is preventable, treatable, and beatable, and, if caught in its early stages, it is 90% curable. Approximately 26,000 Canadians will be diagnosed this year, so it is important to get screened regularly. Those who undergo treatment for colorectal cancer may develop lymphedema in their abdomen, pelvis, ge****ls, or lower extremities.

To learn more about colorectal cancer and screening, visit: www.colorectalcancercanada.com. If you are a loved one have been diagnosed, treated, or in treatment, visit www.canadalymph.ca to learn more about lymphedema.

World Obesity Day 2026 takes place on 4 March, uniting people worldwide to raise awareness and drive action on obesity.

Convened by the World Obesity Federation in collaboration with its global members, it brings together individuals, organizations, and alliances to highlight the urgent need for understanding, prevention, and treatment of obesity.

By 2035, around 4 billion people - half the world - are expected to be living with overweight or obesity.

Obesity doesn’t happen in isolation. It’s shaped by poverty, stigma, unequal access to education and healthcare, limited availability of healthy food, and environments that don’t support healthy living.

This years theme: 8 Billion Reasons to Act on Obesity is a call to action to everyone around the world. With prevention from the earliest years, respectful care, lived experience at the center, and equitable access to treatment - we can change the trajectory.

🗓️ Get involved this World Obesity Day and visit: www.worldobesityday.org

Did you know that obesity is recognized as one of the major risk factors—and increasingly a leading cause—of secondary lymphedema?
