The condition
The condition causes chronic swelling of the body, mostly in the arms and legs, due to the accumulation of lymph fluids when the body's natural drainage system malfunctions. This may occur following cancer treatment or after an infection.
Treatment
A weekly clinic runs at Island Medical Centre, 14 Gloucester Street, St. Helier,
