March is Lymphedema Awareness Month, however you can advocate for awareness no matter the time of year.
“I often hear from those that live with lymphedema that nobody listens … Spread the word: Lymphedema exists. We exist.”
“This day means ‘we matter,’ ‘I am not alone in this fight,’ ‘my disease is real.’ It’s a day where we can come together and demand that the world hears us.”
“Maybe at first people are like, ‘Who is this kid?’ But usually after I talk, they realize that I kinda know what I’m talking about.”
“Lymphedema has become a defining feature of my life precisely because I didn’t want it to define my son’s life.”
For this year’s World Lymphedema Day, I spoke with Dr. Gousopoulos about the globalization of the lymphedema community, the importance of patient involvement, and his vision as chair of the Europe Chapter of LE&RN.
Today is a day for us to join together and use our voices not only to spread awareness about lymphedema, but to celebrate our amazing community.
