“This is the education and hand-holding I wish I’d had when my lymphoedema swelling first presented itself six years ago.” Nancie, breast cancer survivor. A diagnosis of lymphoedema after cancer treatment can feel like a “kick in the guts” for many people. The condition is characterised by swelling, most commonly in the arm or leg, and can result in frequent bouts of infection, poor function and quality of life. The irony is that if lymphoedema is detected early and treated appropriately, swelling can be minimised and even reversed. People CAN live rich and full lives with carefully managed lymphoedema. Unlike other health conditions that have fixed paths of medical management, the path to lymphoedema management is not so clear-cut. Lymphoedema requires a high level of self-education, self-awareness and self-management. Dr Teresa Lee is an experienced lymphoedema physiotherapist who has published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and has been an invited speaker for many lymphoedema and cancer platforms in Australia. She has written this book to help cancer survivors navigate the complex world of lymphoedema and live well with this condition.

This book was compiled so that people who have been touched by lymphedema can share their stories: their trials and tribulations, their sadness and disappointments, their strength and hopes. It is intended to encourage, educate and inspire patients and loved ones, who can often feel isolated and uninformed. We hope to increase awareness and general knowledge of a condition that is often overlooked and misdiagnosed, yet which can have monumental physical and emotional impact on the lives that it affects. The voices of lymphedema need to be heard. Not every story has a happy ending, yet there is hope. By sharing these stories with one another, we can learn from the struggles and successes that others have experienced, and can help each other to live well with lymphedema.

If you are reading this, the chances are that you either have lymphoedema (lymphedema), know someone that does, or work in the medical profession caring for people with this lifelong and sometimes debilitating disease. Lymphoedema affects millions of people around the world, yet it is often a lottery whether the appropriate level of healthcare is received. That can leave a person living with this lifelong disease feeling desperate, neglected, and alone. You are NOT alone! Advocates Amy Rivera and Matt Hazledine are joined by 34 people living with lymphoedema from 14 countries from around the world, who share their personal experiences and top tips, to help you to live better with lymphoedema. Many of us experience a varying level of professional care from medical experts IF you have been successful in getting a diagnosis. Many are still seeking a diagnosis, which means that they are unlikely to be receiving the appropriate health care and advice on self-management techniques, which is important during the early stages of lymphoedema. This can result in people feeling helpless, alone and desperate. Lymphoedema can be extremely challenging to both physical and mental health, especially when coming to terms with the diagnosis and adapting to this life-changing condition. Some people are willing to talk about their health issue, while others keep it hidden. Some people confidently wear their compression garments in public, while others hide it under baggy clothes and some people just don't or can't go out at all. This book includes personal experiences and tips from 34 people from 14 different countries. Some have primary and some have secondary lymphoedema, effecting their arms, legs, trunk, head, neck, and pubic area. They were willing to share their story to reassure others they are not alone. Some guests have included their contact details, so, if you relate to their circumstances, you can connect with them directly.
