Lymphedema can affect anyone, at any age. The Lymphedema Treatment Act will help all patients, regardless of whether their lymphedema is primary or secondary, from cancer or another cause.
Cancer survivors are at particularly high risk, however, and today, on World Cancer Day, you can help us educate survivors on their risk. We encourage you to share these items as you see fit.
- Our “Lymphedema: Not One Disease” flyer highlights the many causes of lymphedema, including incidence rates for some of the most common cancers.
- This one-pager highlights the myriad of ways lymphedema impacts cancer survivors, including financially.
- Our “6 Things You May Not Know About Lymphedema“
infographic has basic information everyone should be aware of.
These and other educational materials can all be found on the Increasing Awareness page of our website.
Thank you to all those who responded to last week’s newsletter and shared their lymphedema story. If you’d like to submit yours you can do so here.
Thank you for helping to spread awareness and educate others!
