PLAN - Parents' Lymphedema Action Network

PLAN LOGO

The National Lymphedema Network (NLN) is proud to re-introduce Parents' Lymphedema Action Network (PLAN). PLAN's goal is to assist parents of young children affected by lymphedema (LE) by establishing an active Parent Networking group. PLAN is being reestablished in response to the increasing and desperate need for a network of parents who share similar experiences and stories of the "unknown." We have numerous and exciting projects, including:

PLAN Message Board

This is a site for NLN/PLAN Members to communicate with other parents in the PLAN network. We encourage you to use this forum to share tips, resources and provide support for each other.

You need to be a NLN member in order to access the message board. First time users, please click here to register with a valid email address and we will confirm your member status via email.
