Coming soon: simplified NLN position papers
If you are in need of information contained in the NLN position papers on the NLN site (lymphnet.org) regarding lymphedema, you might be interested in reviewing a simplified version that I have developed for the patient. I have worked with a local surgeon, medical and radiation oncologists, and my lymphedema therapist to come up with language that is simpler to read. I will have this information posted shortly. Stay tuned.

Arimidex and hot flashes
Don’t sweat the night sweats and hot flashes and aching joints if you are taking Arimidex. Count it all a blessing.

That news certainly encouraged my soul.
