In reply to: LYMPHEDEMA/WITH HAND AND LOWER ARM TREMOR posted by SUSAN T on 8/14/2000 from 205.188.192.177:

Dear Susan:

I wanted to check in with you to see how you are doing. Have the tremor and lymphedema improved? I hope so. Please let me know how you are doing so that we can best be of assistance to you.

There is a great and current book that I highly recommend entitled "Lymphedema: A Breast Cancer Patient's Guide to Prevention and Healing", 1999, authors: Jeannie Burt and Gwen White, P.T., Hunter House Publishing, ISBN #0-89793-264-1. You can purchase this book through the bookstore on our web site via Amazon.com.

Have you seen a trained physical therapist for manual lymph drainage or tried any other means of relieving the lymphedema?

There is a special Personal Profile Form (link to the form) at the top of this page where you can fill out additional information regarding your breast cancer history (all information is kept confidential) that will help us best be of help to your particular needs.

We will be happy to send you a copy of WIN Against Breast Cancer's comprehensive Breast Cancer Resource Guide (at no charge). Just give us a call at (626) 332-2255 and/or e-mail us with a request. The following resource mentioned here is included in WIN ABC’s guide.

Have you contacted the National Lymphedema Network (NLN)? Perhaps they can be of assistance as well. (800) 541-3259; www.lymphnet.org.

How are you doing otherwise? Please let us know if there are any other issues that we can be of help and support with. Please keep us up-to-date on how you are doing.


My best regards,
Betsy
