Self-care for lymphoedema

March is Lymphoedema Awareness Month

This session is for women who have lymphoedema as a result of their cancer treatment. Our presenter, Kate Rogers, an experienced lymphoedema practitioner will focus on self-care strategies that you can do to best manage lymphoedema.

We will also hear from Margaret, a Counterpart volunteer, about her experience of managing lymphoedema over a number of years. She will talk about some practical issues including finding good compression garments.

She’s held positions on the board, as a committee member and conference convenor for Australasian Lymphology Association (ALA) and has spoken widely at seminars and conferences on the lymphoedema. Kate has been a pioneer in national lymphoedema recognition and assessment and continues to make headway in creating better support for patients across Australia.
