Description

The November Lymphedema Patient Roundtable celebrated the theme of "lymphatic gratitude," with panelists and attendees reflecting on the unexpected gifts and lessons learned in their lymphedema lives.

The holidays are around the corner, and the panel shared some tips for managing their lymphedema during the changes in routine so they can have a swell time, not a swollen time. The hour continued to fly by with conversations around topics like surgery, cellulitis, and self-advocacy. Then, to close the evening, Karen Ashforth led the group in a mindful meditation focused on gratitude.
