Lymphedema Resources, Inc. is dedicated to educating lymphedema patients and
those at risk of developing lymphedema about their options and available
resources.
The Lymphedema Education Awareness Support Group meets in Southwest Florida as
an informal forum for patients and at-risk cancer survivors can share their
experiences and information. The Southwest Florida group meets the second
Saturday of every month (October - May) from 10:30 a.m. to noon at the new Lee
Memorial Health System, Regional Cancer Center, 8931 Colonial Center Drive, Ft.
Myers (just off I-75 exit 136, behind Steak ‘n Shake on Colonial Blvd.) (See
a map).
If you are not in the Southwest Florida area, there are some online lists
of support groups:

National Lymphedema Network
Check with your local Cancer Society chapter or ask your therapist or doctor
for groups in your area.
