18.01.2022 March is Lymphoedema Month, so share, share, share this post! Current research proves that surveillance (checking in with whether you may be developing Lymphoedema when you have a risk) is the BEST form of management and prevention. Knowledge is key ! And surveillance is essential.

18.01.2022 Lipoedema is poorly understood in the wider community and poorly resourced. Lipoedema Australia is a wonderful group working very hard to change this. Lets all get behind them this month to raise awareness.

17.01.2022 BCNA conducted a survey last year which identified Lymphoedema as the greatest unmet need for survivors of breast cancer. We are here to help.

01.01.2022 This research is exciting news for those with lipoedema! Lipoedema patients feel totally abandoned, and rightfully so, Rockson said. They have a disease that turns life upside-down and are told there is nothing wrong with them. To dignify it with proper identification is very important to people. http://med.stanford.edu//biomarker-for-lipedema-discovered
