Lymphedema care has come a long way—but we still have work to do.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Mary Calys, Senior Clinical Specialist at Tactile Medical and a seasoned expert in cancer rehab and lymphedema management.

Mary dives into how lymphedema care has evolved over the years (including a SHOCKING anecdote from her first lymphedema experience), what’s still holding patients back from getting the treatment they need, and how Tactile Medical is helping bridge those gaps through innovation and education.

We talk about real-world barriers to care, the importance of clinician awareness, and how home-based compression options are changing what’s possible for patients living with lymphedema.

Whether you’re brand new to cancer rehab or have been in the field for decades, this conversation will give you a fresh perspective on where lymphedema care is headed, and how we can all do better for our patients.
