My Nonprofit Reviews

When I found out that I have breast cancer, I called LE&RN to find out what questions I should ask my breast surgeon about her plans to help me avoid or handle lymphedema. I received great assistance with good questions. I also information on a fairly new surgical strategies that would also help me to possibly avoid this disease, too often a secondary result from the removal of lymph nodes during cancer surgery. I was able to connect with Memorial Sloan Kettering doctors for my mastectomy and reconstruction surgeries, who are involved in lymphedema research and who apply these new techniques. I highly recommend that people support the work of LE&RN so that more doctors receive training in this preventative surgery and therefore, more women and men are able to live positive, familiar lives post-surgery!
