For Patients:
On Thursday, June 25th at 12:00pm Eastern, we will be hosting a webinar for patients — You Can Do This: Simple Self-Care for Lymphedema in the Breast and Trunk. The guest presenter will be Jodi Winicour, PT, CMT, CLT-LANA, who has been treating patients with lymphedema, cancer-related dysfunction, and orthopedic issues since 1993. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER.
Breast surgery and radiation therapy can significantly impact the lymphatic system, often leading to swelling, discomfort, and uncertainty about what is normal during recovery. This presentation will help participants understand breast and trunk lymphatic anatomy, how cancer treatments affect lymphatic drainage and scar tissue formation, and why swelling and pain commonly occur after treatment.
Attendees will learn how to recognize signs of excessive swelling, distinguish between edema that will likely resolve, and swelling that may become permanent lymphedema, perform safe self-massage techniques, and explore compression options that may help manage symptoms. Practical, evidence-informed information and ample time for questions will empower participants to better understand and care for their bodies during and after breast cancer treatment.
Recordings will be available for both webinars.
