I just signed the petition "Save the NHS £100 - for every £1 spent on lymphoedema treatments" and wanted to ask if you could add your name too.

This campaign means a lot and the more support we can get behind it, the better chance we have of succeeding. You can read more and sign the petition here:

Thank you!

P.S. Can you also take a moment to share the petition with others? It's really easy – all you need to do is forward this text by email or share this link on Facebook or Twitter:

It first appeared a few months ago here - healthunlocked.com/lsn/post...

I have signed it multiple times via different sites - it's aimed at NHS England - I'm in Scotland - so I signed away!

Thanks for sharing this, I was happy to sign. It makes so much sense to treat Lymphoedema early and prevent more serious conditions through good management. I really hope we can help get this message through to the decision makers in the NHS and CCGs.

Signed. Treatment where I am in Wales is good, but I know this is not the case in England.

i signed too even though I live in Scotland where things are better (maybe not quite as good as Wales!) but better than England and NI by the sound of things!

This was the first thing i did when i joined this site. I now intend to write to the health minister to find out why the government is so ignoring Lymphoedema.

It is always the loudest vioces that get the help so it is UP TO US, to be the loudest.
