The workshop will provide educational tools to manage the disease in addition to other side effects that can result from cancer treatments.
Elements of the workshop include:

- Lymphatic System’s Connection to the Immune System
- Signs & Symptoms of Lymphedema
- Risk Factors & Reduction Strategies for Lymphedema
- Hands-On Instruction of Manual Lymphatic Drainage
