Lymphoedema is a swelling that affects the limbs (arms and legs) but can affect other parts of the body and it can happen for no specific reason. The swelling is most often caused by lymph nodes being removed during surgery followed by radiotherapy treatment and can occur quite soon after surgery or many years later. Lymphoedema is treatable but not curable.
The Lymphoedema clinic is held on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday each week. The clinic runs from 9am – 4pm with an evening session on Fridays. The clinic is situated off the entrance to the Hospice.
Referral to the clinic is via your General Practitioner (GP) or Consultant and can be for the treatment and management of primary or secondary lymphoedema.
Please contact Janet Lewington, Lymphoedema Team Leader, for further information.
