Hi, I'm Joy. I'm a 6 year uterine cancer survivor, and have had secondary lymphedema for 5+ years. My le affects my legs, and abdomen...let's just say: from the ribcage down to my toes lol. My le developed after my surgery for 2 different cancers at the same time (in the same organ.) They did a hysterectomy, and also removed the greater omentum, and sentinal nodes by my heart and groin. After the le diagnosis, I also developed chronic venous insufficiency in the legs. Very glad to have found another le support group. LE is very often overlooked by Dr's until it's become a bigger problem. I belong to other le support groups, and if not for the wonderful members I would have not realized what was going on, or how to handle this all. |
