March 6th was Lymphoedema Awareness Day ❤️

Living with lymphoedema after breast cancer can feel like an emotional rollercoaster. It’s okay to feel upset or overwhelmed by the experience of a chronic condition. Whether it’s impacting your body image or your relationships, your feelings are valid. The good news? As you learn to manage the physical symptoms, the emotional weight often lifts too. 

Steps to support living with lymphoedema: 

✨ Talk to your team: Reach out to your breast care nurse, GP, or therapist. 

✨ Access help: Ask your GP about a Mental Health Treatment Plan and/or a  Chronic Condition Management Plan for Medicare-subsidised support. 

✨Connect: Sharing experiences with others who "get it" can make all the difference. Our incredible Online Network is here for you, please reach out whenever you need to chat. 

For more information and support call our Helpline on 1800 500 258 between Monday – Friday 9am – 5pm.
