The PG Lymphedema Workshop November 23 was excellent. 

Presentations by Jenna LaFleche RMT, CDT/MLD and Sonja Redden (PT, CDT/MLD) on how to assess of edema and lymphedema. They explained what tools are needed to be able to get the health history, assessment and baseline measurements needed for cancer and non cancer related lymphedema.  

The importance of collaboration between health care teams was also emphasized. 

Terri Huppie, Medi Canada representative showed the CircAid reduction kit on two patients. 

Another workshop was on bandaging using Essity bandages for all participants. 

One question that all presenters agreed that before and after limb measurements would be ideal for any patients undergoing (cancer treatments).
