Breast lymphoedema
a few questions that internet research hasn't answered for me, hopefully someone here can. I obviously have some lymphoedema in my breast. It started after lumpectomy surgery, and has worsened since ...
Hi Bravo, it's Lisa from the Policy Team. It is really good to hear that you have an upcoming appointment at a lymphoedema clinic. I just wanted to let you know that we have a lymphoedema fact sheet which you can download or order here.
The Australasian Lymphology Association (ALA) is also a good source of information about lymphoedema. They have a public register of lymphoedema practitioners across Australia on their website here. They also have a list of lymphoedema associations and support networks in the various states and territories which you can find here. The Westmead Breast Cancer Institute also has a good fact sheet about lymphoedema, which you can download here.
Also, please do not hesitate to get in touch with BCNA's Member Services Team on 1800 500 258 if there is anything we can do to help.
