How to Live Better with Lymphoedema – Meet the Experts by Matt Hazledine

This book is for anyone who has, or loves someone who has, lymphoedema, a chronic and often debilitating lifelong disease that can have a detrimental effect on both physical and mental wellbeing. I wish I’d had a book like this when I was diagnosed with lymphoedema 10 years ago.

Matt Hazledine, founder of Lymphoedema United, shares his personal experiences and useful tips, plus authoritative information and guidance from over 20 medical professionals and experts, will help you to live better with lymphoedema.

With lymphoedema, knowledge is power and you will learn about:

• Finding the right therapist
• Help and support networks
• Self-management techniques
• Therapies, products & surgery
• Research to find a cure

Whether you read the whole book in one go or turn to certain chapters that focus on specific subjects, this is a must have lymphoedema bible that can be referred to again in the future, when needed. 25% of the profits will be donated to the Lymphoedema Research Fund.

“I have known Matt for almost ten years now and can honestly say, I regard him as a compliant patient with the drive to make a positive contribution by helping others with lymphoedema.”

Professor Peter Mortimer MD, FRCP – Professor of Dermatological Medicine

“The fact that Matt lives with lymphedema (LE) was of particular interest to me. I am always looking for the leaders who will forge the changes needed before LDs and LE become global priorities.”

William Repicci – President & CEO, Lymphatic Education & Research Network (LE&RN)

After having a severe episode of cellulitis in June 2011 that hospitalised me for two weeks, I was left with lymphoedema in my leg, which was 56% bigger than my right leg. Since then, I have experienced almost every product, therapy and surgery available to me, bringing my leg swelling down to 17% volume. In this book, to mark exactly 10 years with this condition, I share my journey with the aim of helping you to live better with lymphoedema.
