Surgery went well
Dr. Granzow took out 4.3 liters of lymph sludge out of my right leg. I'm checking out of Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Center in Torrance, CA tomorrow. Will post more later.
My journey to find a fix for secondary lymphedema
My name is Cheryl Erpelding. In 2010 I had a hysterectomy for uterine cancer. One year later I developed secondary lymphedema first in my right leg and now also in my left leg. I have to wear $900 custom Jobst pantyhose and sleep in Circaid compression garments 24/7 to keep my legs from swelling up. These garments need to be replaced every six months and my health insurance doesn't cover these medical expenses. I had my first surgery for lymphedema July 2014 - $39,000. I was able to raise funds for both surgeries with my husband Steve and I paying $17,000 of the costs.
