Here's our new book on lymphedema. I also have a chapter with several articles.....
(including my own story). Pat
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The book is compiled so that people who have been touched by lymphedema can
share their stories; their trials and tribulations, their sadness and
disappointments, their strength and hopes. It is intended to encourage, educate
and inspire patients and loved ones, who can often feel isolated and uninformed.
We hope to increase awareness and general knowledge of a condition that is often
overlooked and misdiagnosed, yet which can have monumental physical and
emotional impact on the lives that it affects.
Not every story has a happy ending, yet there is hope. By sharing these stories
with one another, we can learn from the struggles and successes that others have
experienced, and can help each other to live well with lymphedema.

About Me
- Pat O'Connor
- Am old enough to understand the difference between the Bay of Pigs - and roasting a pig at a epicurian feast. Been thru the hippy, yippie and yuppie years - always remaining who I am. Very much believe in "Sing your own song - weave your own tapestry" Am young enough to still know the thrill of new discoveries, the beauty of the evening, to celebrate the joy of another tommorow. Survived these many decades with a severe medical problems. Sorting out the maze of now having two lymphomas and all their nasty little companions, but I continue. Besides, being a simple iconoclastic eclectic, have been called many things. An incurable romanticist - with a strong touch of reality. Thinker, intellectual (God, how I hate that term) - been told I am a lion with the heart of the poet. Know how to wage war and conquer my foes - but would rather be known as one who brings hope and life. To bring hope into anothers life is the ultimate of joys. Life should be about bringing hope, peace, vision... a sense of purpose beyond yourself.
