Hi all,
I've been waiting couple of weeks after referral from my GP to even hear from Lymphoedema Clinic. I've got right groin and leg lymphoedema either caused by a blood clot in femoral vein or the lymphoedema caused the clot. I'm on active treatment for the clot and the team have given me the go ahead to fly on 5 December but I desperately need to see a lymphoedema specialist to at least prescribe compression garments. Does anyone have any information on either where I can find a private clinic (Google search has been fruitless) or even better, have a contact number? I've been lucky to get another three month post treatment all clear scan and really want to do this trip that was planned before I got ill. Any advice really appreciated.

Hi Summer,
You have had a lot of treatment and I know from looking after my daughter and husband it takes longer to get over things the more treatment you have had. My daughter had a blood clot when she was in her 20's in her leg. It left her with verrucose veins which she had sorted out later in life.
