Understanding Lymphedema [Dempsey Connects]

September 14 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EDT

Overview

Lymphedema is a common side effect of many cancers and their treatments, causing swelling and subsequent pain and discomfort for many patients. Fortunately, with support and self-care tools, lymphedema can be managed and, in some cases, treated. Join us to discuss the basics of lymphedema: signs and symptoms, prevention, compression, exercise, and self-care strategies.
Led by staff from Mercy Northern Light Lymphedema Clinic.
 
Open to adult Dempsey Center clients.
