Lymphedema Treatment Act





For those of you that don't know, my best friend of 23 years is a Cervical Cancer survivor. She now suffers from Lymphedema as a result of the radiation that was used to save her life. This is when lymphatic fluid pools in certain places in your body and causes severe swelling, pain and infections and in some rare cases even death. It is incurable, but treatable. The only problem is, Medicaid won't pay for the treatment! You can help change that by emailing, facebook messaging, and/or tweeting your state representative. This website makes it very easy to do so with a couple of clicks. Please take a few minutes of your time and help us make that change!
