While awareness of Lymphedema is thankfully on the rise, there is still a lot that needs to be accomplished – from awareness to treatment and coverage. Now it is as important as ever to reach out and connect with others in the Lymphedema community. Here are two easy ways you can reach out and help this weekend.
1. Join or create a Lymphedema support group (click here for more info). Then be sure to spread the word about it. Tell people you know, talk with your therapist, post a video on YouTube, tweet about it on Twitter, or post it on Facebook or LinkedIn. You can also email it to us (at info@solarismed.com) and we’ll be happy to put it in our monthly newsletter!
2. Support HR 4662, the Lymphedema Diagnosis and Treatment Bill. Click here to see what you can do to help. You can also track the latest progress of the bill here.

Just a reminder to all that when you are returning your tribute garment for an alteration it needs to be laundered first. This is not only to protect all us lovely Solaris employees but also all of our equally lovely customers as well.
Thanks so much!

Weightlifting with lymphedema seems to be a pretty hot topic these days. Researchers in Pennsylvania recently studied over 140 breast cancer survivors and the effects that weightlifting had on their lymphedema. You can read the full article on the American Cancer Society’s site by clicking here.
Please be sure to contact your therapist or doctor before beginning your own weightlifting regimen.
