Lymphedema & Breast Cancer: What Every Patient Needs to Know and Ask

Lymphedema is a common yet often misunderstood side effect of breast cancer treatment. Whether you are newly diagnosed, in active treatment, or navigating survivorship, understanding your lymphatic system and how lymphedema can develop is essential to long-term health and quality of life.

In this educational webinar, Jennifer Williams, PT, DPT, CLT-LANA, Co-Executive Director and Director of Clinical Education at the National Lymphedema Network, will break down what breast cancer patients need to know about lymphedema, including early signs and symptoms, why it occurs, and how it can be managed. Patients will leave with practical tools, confidence-building questions to ask their care team, and a clearer understanding of available therapies, exercises, garments, and medical equipment.
This session is designed to empower patients with knowledge, reduce fear, and support proactive, informed care decisions.
