Description
Presenting many previously unknown patterns of lymph drainage and based on more than 2000 studies of melanoma patients, this book is a timely addition to the topic of lymphatic mapping and sentinel node biopsy which is of such considerable interest in surgical oncology. The authors' vast experience and their insights in applying this technique to patients with melanoma will be invaluable to any surgical oncology team contemplating introducing this approach to management of their patients. A section on lymphatic drainage patterns of the breast is also included, based on 90 studies of breast cancer patients. The new lymphatic drainage pathways described will also be of interest to other surgeons and anatomists.

Editorial Review
Professor William McCarthy Director of Sydney Melanoma Unit, Australia
"This book will change traditional thinking about lymph flow patterns.... will become a standard reference work in this field."

More than 100 million people around the world suffer from lymphedema, a painful, chronic swelling of the limbs and, sometimes, other areas of the body. At least five percent of women who undergo lymph-node surgery for breast cancer treatment will experience it. Written by a breast cancer survivor and a nurse, Coping with Lymphedema fills a definite need, with facts about diagnostic tests; manual lymph drainage and complete decongestive physiotherapy (CDP); medications, including antibiotics, steroids, and benzopyrones; compression garments; and experimental treatments, including acupuncture, biofeedback, meditation, and herbal medicine.
The authors also debate the merits of various lymphedema therapists, from chiropractors and physiatrists to osteopaths. There's also plenty of information about natural diuretics, important nutrients, helpful exercises for reducing pain and increasing mobility, and methods for handling depression and self-image troubles. More than 100 resources and lists of phone numbers for support groups in most states further the usefulness of this clearly written, comprehensive reference.

Reader Review
An excellent informative comprehensive book on lymphedema. August 25, 1998
Reviewer: Phyllis Zehr (pbkb77a@prodigy.com) from Wilmington, Delaware
This book confirms what took many hours of searching on my own time to comprehend the complications and control of lymphedema, a medical condition I was not forewarned might develop following breast surgery. I highly recommend this book to any person facing surgery and/or radiation involving lymph nodes as well as anyone who currently has lymphedema.

Reader Review
Book Helps Person in Small Town, May 27, 2000
Reviewer: A reader from Peace River, Alberta Canada
I have had lymphedema for several years. I live outside a very small town which does not have a person who knows how to treat lymphedema. I found this book on Amazon.com and it gave me information that helped find a therpist in another city.

I must travel nearly two hundred miles to reach my therapist, but with her help and with the information in this book, the swelling has gone down and my arm is almost back to normal. In another couple of weeks I should not need to see the therapist any longer. Because of the detailed information in this book, and because of the therapist's instructions I know how to bandage my arm, what kind of sleeve to wear on it, exercises I should and should not do, even what kind of breathing helps my arm not swell.

I don't know what I would have done if this book had not been available. I wish it had been written years ago when my swelling began. I recommend it very highly. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
