Recenzii


" Lymphedema is a swelling caused by an accumulation of lymphatic fluid in tissues and is common among women who have undergone breast cancer surgery with axillary node dissection and/or radiation. Yet prior to surgery, most women are unaware of this condition and the heartache it can bring. Burt, a human resources consultant and breast cancer patient who has been affected by lymphedema, and White, a physical therapist, have put together an informative little book that should help all women suffering from the condition, at least to some degree. In the past, many women were told they would have to live with the swollen arm and lack of mobility that appeared after their surgery. Burt and White present treatment plans, massage therapies (professional and self-administered), and exercise regimens to alleviate or diminish this surgical aftermath. Though the authors advise vigilance to keep the skin and affected arm as healthy as possible, unfortunately, lymphedema can strike many years after surgery. Their useful guide will help women remain active and, one hopes, less obsessed with the "other" results of breast cancer. Recommended for patient health collections. &#8212 Library Journal

"...this book’s strength lies not only in its content, but in the spirit of hope it engenders." &#8212 MAMM Magazine

"…focused on patient education and empowerment while compiling a wide range of information and expertise…an excellent resource to clinicians." &#8212 Physical Therapy (American Physical Therapy Association's official publication)

"…incredibly well-written…exactly the information patients want. The low cost makes this information accessible to many people and a real find." &#8212 Oncology Nursing Forum
