If you notice any symptoms that may be lymphoedema you should contact either your GP, hospital doctors or, if you have had breast cancer, your breast care nurse.

In some areas of the country there are specialist lymphoedema centres where treatment and advice are given. Your doctor or nurse should be able to tell you if there is a centre in your area.

The British Lymphology Society produces a directory of lymphoedema centres throughout the country. If you do not live close to a centre, there are other organisations that can offer advice and support.

Most lymphoedema services are provided free of charge so you shouldn't need to pay to see a therapist, unless you particularly want to.
