This is amazing - I definitely have heard the word, but I always thought it was "just a side effect" of other problems. (As in, you know, minor, not life-altering, something that goes away and you forget about it.) I had no concept of the reality of this condition. Definitely, we DO need to increase awareness.POD, thanks so much for sharing this. You are very strong and inspiring!V. Wow.

My grandmother suffers from this disease, and hers too is atypical. She developed the condition in her 80s and has never had breast cancer or a traumatic injury to her leg. Thankfully, she is able to manage it through a compression pump and by wearing compression hose. Thanks Mizfit and POD! My grandmother suffers from this disease, and hers too is atypical.

As an avocate for Breast Cancer Awareness I've learned a lot about Lymphedema but truthfully did not understand how somone with Lymphedema felt. This was a wonderfully written insight to someone who has not dealt with it from the time of surgery, but her whole life. How Blessed we are to be given this knowlege by someone who has embrased and used it to be a healthier, proactive, Advocate for a little known disease. You are awe inspiring POD!

One would never guess it's so closely associated with breast cancer.Thanks, POD, for writing so eloquently on the subject, both here and on your blog.
