LympheDivas armsleeves so Different, Australia

Posted on November 20, 2011

I was in USA recently for a Klose conference (next update) and tagged on a visit to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. Their therapists were so generous in sharing information such as this. Apparently, LympheDivas (USA) armsleeves are compression garments but with such vivid designs.

My GP referred me to Dr Linda Kong’s Lymphoedema Centre. As a male patient experiencing very uncommon, uncomfortable, and painful symptoms, I wasn’t sure what to expect. From the very first appointment, Linda came across as deeply caring and highly knowledgeable, with a clear determination to help me understand and manage my condition. She even called me outside of normal hours to offer advice and reassurance. I’m only up to my third visit, but I already have complete confidence in her ability to help me.

Linda is so professional and kind. She explained the issues and process and then showed me and my partner how to put everything into practice. She is amazing! She is the first person who really helped me with my breast lymphoedema.

I wasn’t sure whether I had lymphadema or fluid retention but I knew I had to find out quickly as I was scheduled for surgery only a week away. Dr Linda was every thing I hoped she would be and actually more so.I felt I was in the right place.I was positioned into a pressure suit and after sometime it was removed. I discovered that the fluid shifted but rebounded back. This I was told by Linda indicated I didn’t have Lymphadema. I felt instant relief but my mind was flooded with “what and why”.

Linda new exactly what was wrong with my arm that had had lymph nodes removed due to breast cancer as soon as she saw me on my first appointment. Linda even rang my doctor to get me in immediately. I didn't realise the pain and swelling was caused by an infection. That is now all clear. Now with Linda's treatments and her now having me wearing the Correct sleeves, my am is smaller than ever. Thank you so much. I am forever grateful

Linda was very professional. She gave me confidence as it was obvious that she really knows her stuff. Very patient, caring and not at all pushy. She gave me good advice on how to relieve my symptoms. I thoroughly recommend Linda
