There was an article in the Guardian newspaper on Thursday about lymphodoema, which highlighted the problems encountered by patients , using three brave women as examples.
I hope some people here managed to see it, as it was encouraging to know that there are others out there who have had to adapt their lifestyles and that there may be a little more understanding in the wider community in the future.
Hi Claireone
Thanks for highlighting the article, I managed to find it eventually! My foot only seems to swell on hot days at the moment but I'm aware long term things might change!
