The very therapy vital to fighting breast cancer leaves 15-20 percent of patients with this side effect, a swelling of the arm on the side where the breast tumor struck.

"Bosom Buddies" is the only support group in Naples specifically focused on breast cancer and lymphedema. Our numbers have grown to 80 women - some about to undergo surgery, others still in radiation and/or chemotherapy and others totally through the ordeal. Some are presently coping with lymphedema, the "ballooning limb" syndrome, a common condition when lymph nodes have been removed or radiated. We range in age from the 30s to the 80s. One of our number is a 25 year survivor! Outside of the meetings, we stay in touch with one another including those who may be out of town for treatment. We will accompany new members to their initial radiation treatments, visit members during their hospital confinements and otherwise encourage and support them before surgery and during their recovery. Six of our members are currently certified in the Reach to Recovery Program. They are on call 7 days a week to provide initial support to women in the hospital undergoing breast cancer surgery and at home during their recovery, and to their families. Chances are that a relative or a friend of yours has had or will at some time have breast cancer. It is becoming epidemic. The statistics are grim. One in eight women will likely be afflicted. In Florida, breast cancer is the second major cause of death from cancer among women. The women of Collier County are not immune to this epidemic.

To understand how it happens, you have to know a little bit about how blood and lymphatic fluid move around your body. Words on this page lymphatic fluid edema lymphatic system blood vessels To keep from getting backed up, fluid has to keep moving within networks of vessels and channels. Blood travels from your heart to your arm in arteries and capillaries (the small blood vessels that connect arteries to veins). As the blood moves through the capillaries, it drops off important supplies to the cells in your arm: oxygen, nutrients, and a clear, colorless fluid called lymphatic fluid. The used blood keeps moving and travels back to the heart and lungs, where it gets refreshed. With every beat of your heart, fresh blood returns to your arm with fresh supplies. Lymph fluid also has to keep moving through the tissues of the arm back into the bloodstream. This fluid flows in another type of vessel, called lymphatics.

Here's how the lymphatic system works: Excess fluid is collected from the space between tissues in the body and moves through the lymph vessels. The fluid (now called lymph) isn't pumped through the body like blood, but instead is "pushed" through the lymph system as the vessels are compressed by surrounding muscles.

Lymphedema: A Brief Overview What is Lymphedema? Lymphedema is the accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the interstitial tissue that causes swelling, most often in the arms(s) and or leg(s), and occasionally in other parts of the body. Lymphedema can develop when lymphatic vessels are missing or malformed (primary), or when lymph vessels are damaged or removed (secondary). When the impairment becomes so great that lymphatic fluid exceeds the lymphatic transport capacity, an abnormal amount of protein-rich fluid collects in the tissues of the affected area. Left untreated, this stagnant, fluid not only causes tissue channels to increase in size and number, but also reduces oxygen availability in the transport system, interferes with wound healing, and provides a culture medium for bacteria which can result in lymphangitis (infection). Lymphedema should not be confused with venous insufficiency edema. However, untreated venous insufficiency can progress into a combined disorder, which is treated n the same was as Lymphedema.

Supportive care statement for Health professionals Lymphedema Get this document via a secure connection Overview Management Complications ... More Information Overview Introduction Lymphedema is the accumulation of lymph in the interstitial spaces, principally in the subcutaneous fatty tissues, caused by a defect in the lymphatic system. It is marked by an abnormal collection of excess tissue proteins, edema, chronic inflammation, and fibrosis. [ ] Lymphedema is a frequent complication of cancer and its therapies, and can have long-term physical and psychosocial consequences for patients. Physiology The human lymphatic system generally includes superficial or primary lymphatic vessels that form a complex dermal network of capillary-like channels that drain into larger, secondary lymphatic vessels located in the subdermal space. These primary and secondary lymphatic vessels parallel the superficial veins and drain into a third, deeper layer of lymphatic vessels located in the subcutaneous fat adjacent to the fascia. A muscular wall and numerous valves aid active, unidirectional lymphatic flow in secondary and subcutaneous lymphatic vessels. Primary lymphatic vessels lack a muscular wall and do not have valves. An intramuscular system of lymphatic vessels that parallels the deep arteries and drains the muscular compartment, joints, and synovium also exists. While there is evidence that the superficial and deep lymphatic systems communicate near lymph nodes, they probably function independently except in abnormal states. [

Home Page Therapy Results Breast Cancer ... Contact Us Lymphedema Therapy uses the Casley-Smith method of CLT/CDT and has helped over 2000 individuals reduce and control their lymphedema. The Disease Lymphedema is the swelling of soft tissues as a result of the accumulation of protein rich fluid in the extra cellular spaces. It occurs most frequently in an extremity but can be seen in the head, neck, abdomen, and genitalia. Types of Lymphedema There are two types of lymphedema. Primary lymphedema occurs without any known precipitating cause, and is due to inadequate or non-functional lymphatic vessels. Primary lymphedema present at birth is called congenital lymphedema. Lymphedema praecox evolves in adolescence or mid-life. Lymphedema tarda evolves late in life. Secondary lymphedema is precipitated by an event causing blockage or interruption of the lymphatic vessels. In the United States the most common causes are surgery involving the lymph nodes, radiation therapy, trauma, and cancer. It is most often seen following surgery for cancer of the breast, pelvic area, and resections for lymphomas and melanomas. Symptoms of Lymphedema As lymphedema progresses, the involved areas swell more and more. Mobility can be severely impaired as the affected areas increase in girth. Joint movement is restricted and painful, and the skin over the involved areas becomes taut and dry. The subcutaneous tissues can become hard and fibrotic which impairs the flow of blood and oxygen to the area. This unhealthy state often leads to recurrent infections because the high protein lymph fluid is a good growth media for bacteria and fungi. These infections can be life threatening and may require hospitalization for intravenous antibiotic therapy.

Lymphedema is swelling due to a buildup of lymph fluid in the fatty tissues just under the skin. Lymph is fluid from the cells of your body. The lymphatic system collects excess fluid from the body tissues and carries it back to the bloodstream. It also is part of your body's system for fighting infection. How does it occur? Lymphedema can happen when the lymph system is blocked and cannot drain fluid from the tissues. It may happen when the lymphatic system becomes damaged. Infection, radiation, injury, cancer, or surgical removal of lymph nodes can cause blocked lymph ducts. Lymphedema is a common side effect after surgery to remove a breast and nearby lymph nodes (mastectomy). In rare cases lymphedema occurs because the lymph system did not form normally before you were born. In this case it is called primary or congenital lymphedema.

(The majority of women with breast cancer will never experience lymphedema but some will) What is Lymphedema? Lymphedema is swelling from the lymph fluid that builds up in the body tissues. In other words, the lymph fluid is not completely circulating through the body and builds up in one of the body tissues. The buildup (swelling) usually occurs in the arm or leg. Why Does Lymphedema occur in breast cancer patients? Lymphedema occurs in breast cancer patients because if the breast is removed, surgeons usually remove groups of lymph nodes and vessels from the underarm. Removing lymph vessels and nodes alters the way fluid drains in the body. In breast cancer patients, the lymphatic system struggles to remove fluid from the arm and breasts.

Lymphoma Lymphedema Lymphoma is cancer of the lymphatic system. Lymphedema, which is swelling of the tissues due to disrupted functioning of the lymphatic system in not a form of cancer. Lymphoma diagnostic signs include swelling of the lymph nodes, which are commonly referred to as swollen glands. Lymphedema diagnostic signs do not include swelling of the lymph nodes unless an infection is present. Lymphoma symptoms require immediate diagnosis and treatment. Lymphedema symptoms require prompt diagnosis and treatment; however, this condition does not have the same urgency as lymphoma. Lymphoma is diagnosed and treated by an oncologist using cancer treatment methods. Lymphedema is diagnosed by a health care provider and is treated by a qualified lymphedema therapist using CDT techniques.
