Thanks for visiting this site – you probably got here by downloading or requesting to download something or quite possibly you will be attending one of our free events either online or in the real world.
The idea behind this site is to share information, and to share information on Oedema based issues, and Lymphatic issues, and to give back.
As you may or may not know, there are several charities that support those who live with oedema problems. We will never promote one over the other, and any revenue we do make will be split equally.
Over the coming weeks there will be articles and offers filling this site – do take advantage of them
Have a great day and see you at the training

This would be fantastic news - it seems a little way off but there is always hope Summary Mounting evidence implicates inflammation as a cause of lymphedema, a common side effect of cancer treatment. Topical drugs that suppress this inflammation may hold promise as a therapy. Highlights Previous research has shown that immune cells promote the inflammation that leads to lymphedema. Drugs that block the action of these cells may be one way to combat the condition. In mice, an FDA-approved anti-inflammatory drug applied to the skin prevented lymphedema from developing and treated it once it occurred. One of the most dreaded complications of cancer treatment is lymphedema — the uncomfortable and often disfiguring accumulation of fluid in the arms or legs. The condition is progressive and there are no known cures.
