Our Book About Lymphedema

The LLN is looking for patients, family members, therapists, or physicians to write inspirational short stories.

All patients and family members have a story to tell, so let us hear from you. Please contact Vera Newman.  Post all your contact information. She will contact you within 2-3 business days. 

These stories may be from:

• Patients who developed lymphedema after surgical, chemotherapy, or radiation treatment for breast cancer or other types of cancer (secondary lymphedema)
• Patients who were born with lymphedema (primary lymphedema)
• Patients who developed lymphedema from other surgeries such as: knee or hip replacement, abdominal surgeries, fracture, infection, other
• Family members who are caregivers for lymphedema patients
• Therapists: successful treatment stories, caring family stories, unusual stories
• Physicians:  personal observations and comments

The main goal of our book is to let patients and family members know that they are not alone. We care, and we are here for you – always! Help us to help others – the goal for the money raised from the sale of the book is to help indigent patients through our Bandages and Garments Fund.
