Description

It’s back-to-school season, and class was in session at the September Lymphedema Patient Roundtable!

On the syllabus was Lymphedema Treatment 101 with certified lymphedema therapist Karen Ashforth, a spotlight on community-building with Veronica Seneriz, Patient Services Director at the Lymphatic Education & Resource Network, and a session on “being your own guinea pig” with lipolymphedema patient Angela Jones. The patients and therapists on the panel also shared some of their biggest lessons learned when it comes to living with and managing lymphedema.
