YES, WE ARE WRITING A BOOK ENTITLED:
“Life is Worth Living with Lymphedema”
The LLN is looking for patients, family members, therapists, or physicians to write inspirational short stories of why “Life is Worth Living with Lymphedema”.
These stories may be from:
- Patients who developed lymphedema after surgical, chemotherapy, or radiation treatment for breast cancer or other types of cancer (secondary lymphedema)
- Patients who were born with lymphedema (primary lymphedema)
- Patients who developed lymphedema from other surgeries such as: knee or hip replacement, abdominal surgeries, fracture, infection, other
- Family members who are caregivers for lymphedema patients
- Therapists: successful treatment stories, caring family stories, unusual stories
- Physicians: personal observations and comments
The main goal of our book is to let patients and family members know that they are not alone. We care, and we are here for you – always! Help us to help others – the goal for the money raised from the sale of the book is to help indigent patients through our Bandages and Garments (BAG) Fund.
All patients and family members have a story to tell, so let us hear from you. Please contact Joan White at 770-442-1317 and submit your story to LLN.
