Hi
My husband is due to retire in the next year and we plan to move to a bungalow. I would like to move to an area that has good support for patients who have lymphedema and of course treatment.
From your experience can you tell me the better areas please? Scotland? North Wales and Yorkshire are areas we are interested in.
Any
Or who to contact. As there is little in England.
Many thanks Ellie x
What a good idea. It is very obvious that the NHS just doesn't have the funds to provide enough care, and we are way down the pecking order. To start off, I have down-sized from a London property (which I loved - and miss my friends) to a home in Oxfordshire, purely so that I can have a more comfortable life, and can afford to go privately when NHS can't/won't provide. Because of Polio I can't wear compression garments, but no provision is made for that - so I have to pay for M.L.D. which works a treat. Cost is £40 per month as opposed to £80.
What about starting a country-by-county list with good things available - if LSN can't do this, I am very willing to host this on my website aftercancers.com
Just to prove I mean what I say..... see aftercancers.com/lymphoedem...
Thanks Veriterc that is a brilliant idea. I will have a look at your link now. Good idea to plan I think. Might not happen for a couple of years but do need to think of my treatment.
