“We are more than our swelling.” This affirmation was the heartbeat of the August Lymphedema Patient Roundtable as our panelists talked about body image, coping skills, and how to be your own best advocate while living with lymphedema.

Attendees asked questions on a variety of topics, ranging from compression garments and working from home to cellulitis and COVID-19 vaccines. With certified lymphedema therapist Nasreen Starner on the panel to offer her medical perspective alongside the panelists’ patient experiences, the conversation was as dynamic as it was informative.
