H.E.A.R.T for Gloria

With another month of treatment under our belts, things are positive. The journey is tough for Gloria but the benefits are definitely becoming more evident. The lymph fluid is continually becoming more easy to move, skin health is improving, less swelling, more wrinkles (on her feet and legs - a great sign!). And the best news is Gloria's pain and discomfort in her legs has lessened from treatment to treatment.

Continuity is imperative to the success of this treatment, so we continue to work with Gloria in a way that she and her body can cope with, That means, doing enough to improve the chronic lymphoedema without causing too much stress on her body. We now have Ready Wraps on order (a big thank you to Thames Hospital) which are pressure bandages that help to slow lymph and fluid build up.

This was always going to be a lengthy process, so from the bottom of our H.E.A.R.T we thank all those who are supporting Gloria's treatment journey, ultimately improving her day to day pain and her long term health outcomes.
