Voices of Lymphedema: Stories, Advice, and Inspiration from Patients and Therapists

Chronic swelling due to lymphatic fluid, or lymphedema, affects 3-5 million Americans including 20-40% of cancer survivors. Lymphedema is so little knownâ€”even among doctorsâ€”that it has been called the â€˜silent epidemicâ€™ but there is effective treatment that can break the cycle of recurring infections and even reverse lymphedema-related disability!

Learn from patients and therapists: Inspiring personal stories; Advice on getting a diagnosis and finding treatment; Solutions to common problems and practical tips on self-care; Activities they enjoy and travel tips; Support groups and outreach to the medical community; Issues in treatment coverage and reimbursement.

â€œAn excellent resource for lymphedema patients, therapists, and other health care practitioners. Itâ€™s a book that should be required reading in all schools that turn out healthcare providers.â€
Kathryn McKillip Thrift, BS, CLT-LANA
