It’s beginning to look a lot like Lymphmas at the December Lymphedema Patient Roundtable! The panelists were joined by special guest Evy Dominguez, a roller-skating primary lymphedema patient whose positive outlook is as bright as the colorful compression she wears.
Panelists and attendees mused on a wish list to “Lymphie Santa” and set their intentions for the new year while answering questions on topics like comfortable compression, traveling with lymphedema, and more. Then, Karen Ashforth closed the evening with a cozy holiday reflection.
