110. Detailed Lymphoedema Discussion with Lizzie

110. Detailed Lymphoedema Discussion with Lizzie

For this episode, we talk with Elizabeth Eastwood.

Lizzie specialises in oncology, lymphoedema, palliative care and rehabilitation. She is the Clinical Lead oncology and lymphoedema physiotherapist at Ramsay Health Plus, the outpatient allied health department at Hollywood. Lizzie also has completed further studies in advanced lymphoedema therapy, PINC & STEEL cancer rehab and Persistent Pain. She is the new WA chair of the cancer, palliative care and lymphoedema committee of the Australian Physiotherapy Association.

This episode will fully tackle lymphoedema, which was actually inspired by our previous episode with Rob.

The following questions were answered by Lizzie:

  • What is lymphoedema
  • What can be advised for pre-op patients
  • What prevention strategies can be done
  • What are the early signs of lymphoedema and how to monitor it
  • What do lymph nodes do?
  • Radiation, cyberknife, and lymphoedema
  • Medicines that may exacerbate lymphoedema
  • Aside from answering the questions above, Lizzie will also talk about the pitting test which is a test you can do to check signs of edema, the SoZo machine which helps assess lymphoedema, risk factors, and so much more.

As a final takeaway, Lizzie reiterates two good and great things:

  1. The Lymphatic System can respond and recover if you give it the right support and care
  2. When you have lymphoedema, there are lots of strategies and resources that can help, and it is very important to manage it sooner than later
