While the field of Lymphology has come a long way, countless patients with Lymphedema and other lymphatic disorders remain largely unheard. Patients continue to be misdiagnosed or worse - ignored. The Lymphedema Awareness Campaign's goal is to change that.
NLN Education Kits will be sent to oncologists and cancer centers across the nation to be distributed to patients when they are diagnosed with cancer. The goal is for patients to be equipped to prevent and manage Lymphedema should they develop it.
