Lymphedema Therapy
An important therapy component for cancer patients
Lymphedema is a swelling of an area in the body resulting from an accumulation of lymph fluid. In cancer patients, lymphedema usually results from surgery involving removal of or damage to the lymph nodes. This can frequently involve patients who have had surgery for breast, uterine, or prostate cancer. Lymphedema therapy can manage the fluid accumulation by reducing swelling and reducing the risk of infection. California Pacific offers a Lymphedema Education & Resource Group a free monthly meeting facilitated by Nurse Practitioner, certified lymphedema specialist, and exercise trainer. Each meeting includes an educational presentation, practical techniques for understanding and managing lymphedema and an opportunity for your questions to be answered. Call (415) 600-6281 for more information. Read more.
