Spring has sprung, and the April Lymphedema Patient Roundtable was blooming with conversation around themes of community and support! Special guest Veronica Seneriz from the Lymphatic Education and Research Network walked attendees through LE&RN’s robust new Resource Center (proudly sponsored by Lympha Press), and Angela Jones urged everyone to connect with the things that bring you joy with the reminder “You are not your lymphedema.”
At the end of the hour, Karen Ashforth led everyone in a relaxing manual lymphatic drainage session, walking the group through some of the core clearing that’s common to all people with swelling.
