Lymphedema Awareness Month is just around the corner. If you need educational materials visit our Increasing Awareness page.
And if you haven’t yet, please consider submitting an email or video story to the Cancer Moonshot initiative, even if you are not a survivor:
- Cancer Moonshot email form. Ask that this administration make passing the Lymphedema Treatment Act a priority, to improve the health and lives of millions of Americans with cancer-related lymphedema, and millions more who suffer from this chronic condition due to other causes.
- Cancer Moonshot video story submissions. Here you can record or upload a short video. This is an incredibly powerful opportunity for patients to show how lymphedema has affected them.
The Lymphedema Treatment Act will improve insurance coverage for lymphedema from all causes, not just cancer. However, this is an excellent opportunity to point out that passage of the Lymphedema Treatment Act is something that can and should be done right now, for survivors, as well as all those who suffer from this chronic condition!
