For anyone who has experienced cellulitis either as an isolated episode or recurring episodes this may be of interest to you.

📢 Have you experienced cellulitis while living with lymphedema? We need your voice.

The Lymphedema Association of Québec (LAQ) is leading a Pan-Canadian survey on cellulitis episodes and lymphedema, and they're looking for people from every province and territory to participate.

Cellulitis is one of the most common and serious complications of lymphedema, but we still need better Canadian data to help improve care, education, and access to services.

If you are living with lymphedema and have experienced cellulitis, please consider taking a few minutes to complete this survey. Every response helps build a clearer picture of what people across Canada are experiencing.

🇨🇦 We hope many of our Nova Scotia members will take part so our province's experiences are well represented in the results.

Your story matters. Your participation can help improve care, support research, and strengthen advocacy for everyone living with lymphedema across Canada. 💙

I attended The 2026 Boston Lymphatic Symposium in February. William Repicci of the Lymphatic Education And Reaearch Network was kind enough to treat the Symposium participants to the first screening of a movie called Jodie’s Body. A warm and touching narrative of Jodie a larger than life model. There was a discussion amongst the audience after the screening which included thoughts feelings and introspective comments about the definition of the body beautiful and the body as an art form.

What a fabulous experience to have been a part of.
