Lymphedema
Lymphedema, swelling of the arm or leg, is a risk for those having cancer surgery. It is most prevalent after surgery for breast cancer and affects the arm and/or torso. However, lymphedema can occur in the lower extremities after surgery for colon cancer, prostate cancer, and ovarian cancer. Lymphedema, once diagnosed, is a chronic condition that requires daily management. Early detection helps reduce the severity of lymphedema. Prevention is the key.
For information on how to reduce your risk, follow the blog posts on lymphedema at The Cancer Help Store Blog and The Cancer Help Blog. Also, check out the books and DVD's which cover issues around coping with lymphedema, how to bandage, etc.
Below, you will find lymphedema sleeves, compression bras (also seen under Mastectomy), and bandaging sleeves for night use, as well as care items (i.e. lotions). Care has been taken to list products that can safely be ordered online. For the best fit and care, find a qualified lymphedema massage therapist, specialist, and fitter in your area.
