“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.

Lymphoedema results from a failure of the lymphatic system, causing swelling and fluid retention; it can also cause aching, heaviness and difficulty moving. Research shows that around 140 million people worldwide may be living with lymphoedema, and it affects approximately one in five women after breast cancer treatment. There is no cure for the disease, but there are ways to control the symptoms. Let's Talk Lymphoedema has been written to help sufferers deal with its debilitating effects, providing information and inspiration to help them lead rich, vibrant lives. It features contributions from international experts and personalities such as Miriam Stoppard, and the actress Kathy Bates, who herself suffers from the condition. Including essential medical information (immune system and infection; microsurgery; obesity; podiatry); treatment advice (compression garments; physiotherapy; exercises); and day-to-day support (psychology, sexuality and others' perceptions), this is an essential read for sufferers, friends, family and medical professionals alike.

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.

Lymphedema is a disease characterized by a swelling in the limbs and certain other body parts due to a condition in one's lymphatic system. Because there is no cure, it can be easy for people diagnosed with the condition to think there is simply nothing they can do. The fact is, although it can't be altogether cured, Lymphedema and its symptoms can certainly be successfully managed. That said, for some people with Lymphedema, going to a doctor to manage symptoms is simply too costly, so they choose to do nothing. I hope to help you change that mindset throughout the course of this book. I would like to show you that, if you or your loved one has Lymphedema, there is always something you can do to better your health without necessarily spending a great deal of money. Of course you will still need to involve your doctor; I certainly wouldn't suggest that you substitute this book for medical attention and personalized advice from your doctor. However, I would like to show you that there are many things you can do, from diet to exercise modifications to at-home therapies, to help manage lymphedema so you can live life to the fullest without anything holding you back.

"Lymphedema treatment is an expanding topic on a condition that has been historically misunderstood and underdiagnosed. The condition is characterized by fluid retention and chronic swelling that significantly impacts the daily lives of approximately 10 million North Americans. It can be caused by infection, injury or genetic disorder and may occur as a complication of cancer treatment. In The Complete Lymphedema Management and Nutrition Guide, physiotherapist Ann DiMenna and dietitian Jean LaMantia share their expert knowledge of the condition, explaining its link with diet and exercise. Together they offer lifestyle adjustments and self-management strategies that may help those living with lymphedema gain control of their conditions, lessen their symptoms and improve the overall quality of their lives."--
