There is treatment! Unfortunately, majority of medical providers are unaware of lymphedema therapy and the options available for prevention, reduction and maintenance of the disease. Not everybody who is diagnosed with Lymphedema has or had cancer - but majority, if not all, people with cancer are at high risk for developing lymphedema.

March is Lymphedema awareness month!

Lymphatic diseases are continuously misdiagnosed and misunderstood. Certified Lymphedema Therapsits (CLT’s) are commonly the last resort for these individuals get answers and treatment. Fortunately, just since 2018 when I started working with this population, there has been so much more information coming to the forefront.
