It is estimated that there are at least 100,000 men, women and children living in the UK suffering with lymphoedema, many of whom remain undiagnosed and untreated.
In order to highlight the various causes of lymphoedema and the difficulties that so many patients encounter, we have reproduced letters received from LSN members describing their 'Patient Experience'.
The letters have been categorised into two sections, cancer and non-cancer related.
