The book has very helpful knowledge in it. Just to see the pictures makes you do everything you can to avoid lymphedema!
Good information and illustrations...The book gave a good overview on a condition that seems to be a mystery that there is no real reliable treatment for.
I found a lot of helpful material and resources in this book that my doctor hadn't mentioned to me. I've been able to reduce the swelling in my legs!
An older book, but useful as a consumer guide for management of the problem post cancer treament. For establishing a cancer rehab clinic.
This book provided the most useful information for managing my lymphedema on my left leg. I highly recommend it to anyone suffering from this condition or anyone caring for someone with lymphedema.
