Managing Lymphedema After Breast Cancer Surgery: What You Need to Know

Breast Cancer Awareness Is Not Just a Month, it is EVERYDAY. With millions newly diagnosed each year, emphasis is placed on detection and treatment. Little emphasis is placed on the effects of prolonged stress, fatigue, pain, uncertainty, and permanent changes to the body.

If you or a loved one has suffered from lymphedema, you know firsthand the significant impact it can have on your daily life. But what if I told you that there is a way to manage this progressive condition and even reduce the risk of developing it after breast cancer surgery?

Common questions are:

· “What am I supposed to expect after breast cancer treatment?"

· “Will I always be at risk for lymphedema, and what is it anyway?”

· “What can I do to reduce my risk of having breast cancer return?”

· “Will a specific kind of physical or occupational therapist be better able to treat me after breast cancer?”

· “How do I get back the range of motion and strength into my arm?”
