Reader Reviews
This review is from: Lymphedema: A Breast Cancer Patient's Guide to Prevention and Healing (Paperback)
Lymphedema: A Breast Cancer Patient's Guide To Prevention And Healing describes the many options women have. It emphasizes active self-help and provides extensive information on preventing lymphedema; reducing lymphedema through professional therapy; reducing lymphedema through exercise and self-massage; selecting and using wraps and compression garments; eating right to manage lymphedema; finding emotional support; and locating resources for additional help. Jeannie Burt (a former lymphedema sufferer) and Gwen White (a practicing physical therapist specializing in the treatment of women with lymphedema) have collaborated to write an informative, "reader friendly" text, enhanced with more than fifty illustrations and encouraging stories of women who have dealt with lymphedema successfully using the methods described. Lymphedema is highly recommended reading for anyone suffering from or at risk for breast cancer.
