Let's Talk Lymphoedema: The Essential Guide to Everything You Need to Know - Sieden

Let's Talk Lymphoedema

 

May 2017 sees the launch of “Let's Talk Lymphoedema: The Essential Guide to Everything You Need to Know” written by Professor Peter Mortimer together with Gemma Levine, what is likely the best ever book on Lymphoedema (LE) for the non medic. 

You may remember or even have taken part in the Ice Bucket Challenge for ALS.
Well, add up all patients with HIV, Aids, Parkinsons and ALS and you don't get near the number of people who suffer with Lymphoedema - and you probably never even have heard of it. Some people can be born with it or get it through other secondary causes such as cancer (maybe as many as 30% of breast cancer patients develop Lymphoedema afterwards). Unlike cancer, ALS, Parkinsons, and HIV/AIDS - there is NO CURE. 

What's it like to live with?
Right now, grab 3 bags of flour and strap it to ONE of your legs, or a bag of sugar and strap it to your arm, and try and get on with your daily routine. This is the easy part.
Imagine everyone looking at you - wondering if you are fat, or just like the Elephant Man (which is like Lymphoedema, but caused by the Proteus syndrome). Imagine feeling your life is crumbling away as you can’t do anything that you want to. Imagine becoming disabled. Imagine a world where your partner is repulsed by you. Imagine your life falling apart and psychologically getting out of bed doesn't seem worthwhile.
