The BC Lymphedema Association is here to support people living with lymphedema.  Many of the calls we receive are asking medical questions.  Please be aware that we are not able to provide medical advice.  However, we can offer information about ways to manage lymphedema.  If you become a member, you will be able to view the MEMBERS ONLY section where suppliers and therapists are listed.
