Our guest this week is Dr. Teresa Lee, a lymphedema  physiotherapist specialist. Lymphedema is often referred to as a 'dreaded side effect' in oncology. However, it is something we cannot always avoid. Her book, Navigating Lymphedema, A Guide for Cancer Survivors, provides cancer survivors with the tools to treat lymphedema.

This week, we will discuss what you should know about lymphedema, how to treat it, and how to help your patients. Even therapists outside of oncology can help if a patient comes in with this diagnosis. Being able to support your patients with the right tools is part of quality patient care. Every patient is unique, so their care will depend on their individual circumstances. There is, however, one universal treatment: compression.

With the understanding and knowledge of the tools to treat lymphedema, you will be able to assist a patient on their oncology journey. Dr. Teresa Lee has been caring for cancer and lymphedema patients for the past 20 years. Her teachings aim to help others who are new to cancer treatment and lymphedema.
