Never heard of lymphoedema? You are not alone. 400,000 poeple in the UK live with the condition which causes unrelenting swelling usually of a limb but it can also include the face or body, poor infection surveillance, altered body image, fatigue and skin changes. It is a chronic condition with no cure available. It can affect babies, children, young people and adults.

The LSN can not cure lymphoedema but we can be there to support, provide information and most importantly listen. What we do makes a real difference to real people but we can not do it without your help.
