Born in Montpellier, the association Vivre Mieux le Lymphœdème (AVML) aims to promote recognition of the handicap of lymphedema and its consequences in daily life by informing patients, therapists and public authorities. In this context, its Alsace-Lorraine delegation, chaired by Delphine Watieaux and Véronique Bureau, is organizing a public conference in Thionville, this Friday March 3 at 8 p.m., at the Maison des Quartiers, to raise awareness of the pathology and discuss with patients. Lymphedema is characterized by the lasting increase in the volume of an arm or a leg linked to an accumulation of lymph. It has various origins and mainly affects women. “It sometimes plunges you into great loneliness and dangerous precariousness, for lack of real care,” says Delphine Watieaux.
