My petition is for all people suffering lymphedema whether it is primary or secondary. Cancer patients who suffer from lymphedema after surgery receive the highest criteria of care than people with primary lymphedema. Cancer patients' lymph are secondary lymphedema which occurs after breast cancer surgery. The information provided in the UK is insufficient for care of primary lymphedema. The care by GP's are insuffient. Lymphedema is a disability that without early care and attention can lead to huge problems for the person. Primary Lymphedema is due to insuffient lymph vessels to drain away the lymph fluid within the body. A person is born with the condition. This can cause infection or toxins to remain in the system, the person's limb swollen and progressive continues to enlarge and swell. This is irreversable but early treatment can control it.
