Surviving the challenge of breast cancer is physically and emotionally difficult. Thanks to advances in medical technology and therapy, more and more individuals are successfully beating their cancer.

Unfortunately, treatment for breast cancer sometimes causes secondary conditions which have a negative impact on a survivor’s quality of life.

One such condition, called lymphedema, is the development of swelling in the arm where lymph nodes were removed.

We hope that the information on this website is useful and helps clarify the risks of lymphedema and the importance of early detection and treatment.
