Good article in today's Miami Herald on LE:  From the article:

Physicians should still be "reminding" patients years after surgery or radiation about lymphedema because "you're never out of the woods, [breast surgeon] DerHagopian said. "It's a lifetime risk."

More education and awareness in a major newspaper!!

    Mary, what a great article. Know who Renee Romano is? The owner of Bandages Plus, if I'm right.

    Boy, articles like that give me hope. We should somehow keep them on file...

    Love the photo of the oncologist showing the patient sleeves, and they were totally on target with exercise.

    Thanks!
