Today March 6, World #Lymphoedema Awareness Day. Whilst there's rightly growing support for care for cancer-caused lymphoedema; sepsis, infection & trauma-caused lymphoedema (mostly affecting Blak & Pasifika communities) is completely sidelined from Aust care pathways /1 of 10
Without taking away the necessary support cancer survivors get, @Mark_Butler_MP & @PictonChris can do so much more to provide @SAHealth & @MedicareGovAu benefits to support preventative care, for a disease that affects over 70% of Australians who survive physical trauma... /2
The denial of care for my own lymphoedema since 1998, resulted in massive ongoing health effects. 28 further sepsis/cellulitis episodes, including 20 high dependency hospitalisations. It has shut me out of the workforce, & robbed me of the best years of my work & life. /3
