Description
Lymphedema: A Breast Cancer Patient's Guide to Prevention and Healing by Jeannie Burt and Gwen White provides valuable information for women who have undergone surgery for breast cancer. This comprehensive guide explains the causes of lymphedema, a painful swelling that can occur in the arm, and offers practical advice on prevention and treatment through professional therapy, exercise, and self-massage. The book also shares inspiring stories of women who have successfully managed lymphedema, as well as updates on the latest research, products, and techniques. With a focus on holistic approaches, including nutrition, exercise, naturopathy, acupuncture, and Chinese herbal medicine, this guide aims to empower readers with the knowledge they need to take control of their health. A revised edition featuring expanded sections on nutrition and exercise, as well as new information on potential future therapies being tested, makes this guide an essential resource for anyone affected by lymphedema.
