Did you know that it’s Mental Health Awareness Week in Canada?

Living with lymphedema is not only a physical journey—it can also have a significant impact on mental health and emotional wellbeing. Feelings of frustration, isolation, or anxiety are common when navigating a chronic condition, which is why access to supportive, reliable resources matters.

Our Living with Lymphedema collection is a curated selection of articles that explore the many challenges of living with lymphedema, including its impact on mental health. These pieces offer insights, shared experiences, and practical tools to help individuals cope with both the emotional and physical aspects of chronic illness.

Whether you’re seeking support, understanding, or strategies for managing your condition, the Canadian Lymphedema Framework’s Lymphedema Learning Library is here to help guide you. To read this collection of articles, visit: https://tinyurl.com/LivingWithLymphedema

Did you know that May is Melanoma and Skin Cancer Awareness Month—and today is “Check Your Skin Day”?

Survival rate for melanoma is high if detected early and unlike other cancers, melanoma is often clearly visible on the skin.

Based on the latest Lymphedema Prevalence Data in Canada, nearly 1-in-10 melanoma survivors will develop secondary lymphedema.

Use the ABCDE’s of melanoma to check your skin monthly, if you detect any changes to your moles, contact your doctor for a referral to a dermatologist.

Swipe to learn about the ABCDE Skin Check and visit www.melanomacanada.ca for more information.

Today, on National Physicians Day in Canada, the Canadian Lymphedema Framework extends sincere appreciation to physicians across the country.

Your commitment to patient care, clinical leadership, and ongoing learning makes a meaningful difference in the lives of those navigating complex and chronic conditions, including lymphedema. We recognize and value the important role you play in early identification, referral, and long-term management support for patients.

As part of our mission, education is one of the Canadian Lymphedema Framework’s core pillars. We are committed to developing and supporting educational initiatives that help physicians in their everyday practice related to lymphedema care.

A range of downloadable clinical and patient resources is available on our website, and we are also proud to offer the University of Alberta micro-credential course developed in collaboration with the University of Alberta—designed to further strengthen knowledge and clinical confidence in lymphedema management.

Thank you for your dedication, collaboration, and ongoing efforts to improve outcomes for patients and families across Canada.

Survey Opportunity: Are You Interested in Sharing Your Experience Living with Lymphedema or Lipedema During Pregnancy and Post-Partum?

Progress is being made in the prevention and treatment of lymphedema and lipedema, but the relationship between these conditions and pregnancy is still not well understood. This international survey— available in 10 languages—aims to close that gap. Information gained from this study will help shape the understanding and treatment guidelines for lymphedema/lipedema during pregnancy.

Lymphedema can happen to anyone.

Lymphedema can develop as a result of various factors, including surgery, radiation therapy, infection, trauma, or congenital conditions. While it is commonly seen in cancer patients, especially those who have undergone lymph node removal or radiation, lymphedema can also occur due to other medical conditions such as obesity or chronic venous disease.

Therefore, it's important for everyone to be aware of the signs and symptoms and to seek medical attention if you suspect you might have lymphedema.

What if the most important conversations at a conference weren’t planned in advance?

In 2027, at the Canadian Lymphedema Framework Assembly, we’re trying something new with an Open Space Technology (OST) Meeting — a format that puts the power of the agenda in your hands. The outcomes of this assembly will guide our work for the next decade. It will help determine priorities, shape research directions, strengthen advocacy, and ultimately improve access to care across Canada.

This means real-time conversations, shared leadership, and space for the topics that matter most to our community. Whether you’re a clinician, researcher, patient, advocate, industry representative, or policy maker, your voice will help shape the experience.

We’re excited to create something more collaborative, flexible, and community-driven — together.

✨ We want to hear from you! ✨

Pre-register to be among the first to receive the latest CLF2027 updates and announcements today at: www.tinyurl.com/CLF2027-Interest or visit the link in our bio!

While you’re there, take a moment to share your feedback and help shape an experience that reflects what matters most to you.
