One benefit of attending the recent NLN conference in Dallas was meeting Anna Kennedy, who was part of the Lymph Science Advocacy Program group that BeckySharp and I participated in.  Anna is working with the Canadian Lymphedema Framework and has launched a magazine called  Pathways, and she gave us a copy of the inaugural issue.  I just took some time to read it from cover to cover, and it's wonderful: patient centered, well documented, and well balanced between primary and secondary (as in BC related) LE.  The cover stories say a lot about what the magazine is striving for:

Early shoulder exercises post breast cancer  (it focuses on the need to wait those 7 days)

Focus on Canada's LE research (describing recent and in-process research)

Understanding your LE advocacy role (with tips for getting started)

Also, there's a wonderful personal story, a great Q&A page, and a case study showing the effect of a new two-layer cohesive short-stretch bandaging system.

You can learn more at www.canadalymph.ca and the do have international subscriptions for anyone outside of Canada.  Wishwe had something comparable in the US!
