Annette went for months without an accurate diagnosis of lymphedema, which affected both of her legs. She eventually had to quit her job in order to manage her condition.

Courtney
Courtney, an out going high school student, was mystified by the swelling she began to notice in her leg after dance practice. When finally diagnosed with lymphedema, she learned it was a lifetime condition. Her worry turned to the impact it would have on her looks and her active teenage life.
Betty
Betty’s busy lifestyle was interrupted in 2003 when, after a masectomy, she was diagnosed with lymphedema in her left arm. As a sales representative who travels roughly fifty percent of the time, maintaining a regular in-clinic manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) therapy schedule posed a serious challenge.
Vern
Vern was diagnosed with lymphedema 37 years after radiation for testicular cancer. He immediately decided that he wasn’t about to let the swelling in his leg interrupt his sporting activities or his sales career.
Mari
Mari was determined not to let breast cancer slow her down. So it was a concern to her when, at the end of radiation, she began to develop lymphedema. Once diagnosed, she refused to become lost in the medical system or become a victim of the challenges of lymphedema.
