Lymphedema is a condition caused by a blockage in the lymphatic system, part of the immune and circulatory systems. According to the Mayo Clinic, Lymphoedema is most commonly caused by lymph node removal or damage due to cancer treatment. The main symptom is swelling in an arm or leg that may be accompanied by pain or discomfort.

Lady who survived a liver transplant celebrates
Briefly News previously reported that a young South African woman has celebrated her graduation from university soon after surviving a liver transplant.
Writing on Twitter, the Johannesburg-based Mimo Mokgosi recalled the words of her doctor reassuring her dad that Mimo will not end up in a coffin. She added: I am now a graduate, nowhere close to a coffin. It can only be you LORD.
Briefly.co.za learned that Mimo was diagnosed with hepatitis autoimmune disease in 2008. This necessitated a liver transplant in 2013. Although she survived the transplant, medications caused numerous side effects and she ended up having several illnesses until 2017.
