Topics include:
Lymphedema: Understanding and Managing Lymphedema After Cancer Treatment offers the information and support you need to cope. You will benefit from this solid and sympathetic discussion of an often-misunderstood and overlooked condition. "Lymphedema can be managed if you understand your risks, take proper precautions, and receive treatment from knowledgeable and qualified professionals. This outstanding resource from the experts at the American Cancer Society can help you do just that." --From the Foreword by Sam Donaldson, ABC News Correspondent, treated for lymphedema of the leg Average Rating:
 Rating: - lymphedemaI was delighted to find this book by the American Cancer Society. I have lymphedema in my right leg due to abdominal surgery with ovarian cancer as the outcome. This book has been invaluable because my primary physician does not have an understanding of lymphedema. I am a six year survivor without a recurrence but have the ache and swelling in my right leg as a reminder. The book is even in its treatment of lymphedema whereas other books only address the breast cancer issue.
