She's a god send....❤❤❤

Omg.....it's scary 😮

Finding an affordable lymphedema therapist is like finding a needle in a haystack. I live in a suburb outside of Atlanta. There is only 1 therapist in my huge county. Since she is with hospital rehabilitation my insurance requires a $2000 deductible. In other words I have to pay $547.29 for each visit until I reach $2000. I just don't have that money. So discouraging.

Bravo Ms. Bates!! It’s so important to eliminate shame from all diseases. Your body isn’t who you are. 🥰

YES! PLEASE.HELP ME! Noone listened ! How can I connect. The suffering is unbievable. Especially the fact we are made fools of!❤ For Kathy and those who care.

I have suffered with lymphedema for 8 years now ther is no treatment by doctors thay do not treat this sickness it is all so very painfull 😢😢😢😢

I live with this everyday and it's very painful I have it in the legs and in my Back it's not fun 😕 it's very painful anyone that has it sending positive prayers healing power your way because it's very painful. Sometimes I wish people lived in my body for one day soo they would understand. May God bless you and heal you there is no Cure for it but I pray everyday that some day they will find 🙏 one.

Hats off to Kathy for her bravery in raising awareness. My Mom had a mild case like Kathy but even mild is NO FUN. Shedding light, increases consciousness an hopefully lead to better treatment methods. But until then be there for your loved ones carrying this burden or the burden of any illness. There's no better medicine than LOVE! <3

I am not afraid to talk about it kathy help me I been told I had lympho cancer and there is no cure my said this IS a cancer that if it wakes up you will not die of cancer you will WITH cancer And deep down in my heart I knew there was more to that! N I refuse to give bottom line please need have some to listen to me👵🏻💖🙏🥺

It's great that Kathy has had the courage to speak about her experience. I too have lymphedema .One thing: on the show it wasn't really clear that lymphedema can be something you are born with and not just get through radical surgery like a mastectomy. I was born with it. Yet after years of being fat shamed by people who should know better, in my late 40's my GP gave me the diagnosis. I am now trying the ketogenic diet which is recommended for this condition and the research is very encouraging. I have started watching U Tube vids put out by Le&rn . So in this image conscious world we live in , just stop and thing: maybe that obese person you just glared at for not meeting standards of beauty as they are these days, stop and think for a moment. They may have an underlying medical condition causing their obesity. They could well be following healthy food/ nutritional guidelines and doing regular exercise!! Things are not always what they seem. Stop assuming it's just another" lard a**se" with no impulse control who pigs out!!! Be kind

We so need your voice

Thank you kathy.. I have stage 4 and my insurance keeps denying me needed pumps

Kathy should get an Oscar for her work to help those with lymphoedema

My doctor thinks my legs are suffering from Lymphedema. I am also prediabetic so I can't do a lot of juices to help the pain. .Gog bless you Kathy

I have lymphedema in my right breast after radiation Severe swelling redness and huge welts Been going through physical therapy and wearing compression bra AMAZING how the massage and exercise helps

My mother had this , I am getting the lumps under the knees , I have flabby under the arms . Like she did . God bless everyone that has this .

I applaud her for standing up for herself and advocating the spread of awareness and education, she's great!!!

I developed lymphedema after having my 1st baby 9 years ago. My one foot is forever swollen and won’t go down. Using compression stockings to help pain. Not fun!

I had breast cancer and lymph node removal and I am so concerned about getting lymphedema. When I tell people I am at risk everyone I know never even heard of it. What kills me is the person I was seeing after my surgery who was a lymphedema specialist was horrible she did absolutely nothing but talk about herself (Heather) She also said Lymphedema isn't painful at all and if these women who have it would where the sleeve for it they would be fine. They are vain that's why they don't want to wear it. I found her obnoxious and thank god she finally went to another physical therapy department but in the same facility unfortunately. I am talking about an employee of Greenwich CT hospital their Rehabilitation & physical therapy department. The Greenwich Hospital is part of Yale New Haven and it is the worst for giving good health care.

It makes me so sad to see that this is addressing a problem which need never happen. Lymph node removal along with breast surgery is for diagnostic purposes only, and has nothing to do with the progression of the breast cancer. When I had a double mastectomy in 1987, I told the surgeons to only remove one lymph node on each side, since I did not need my breast cancer to be staged, because I was opting not to have chemotherapy anyway. I have never had any lymphedema whatsoever in either arm. When one gets a diagnosis of any kind of cancer, they should read everything they can find and educate themselves on their options. I did, and that’s when I decided to not have the standard number of lymph nodes removed, and not to have the standard chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

Lymphedema IS THE DEVIL!

i Have Lymphedema and Lipadema both. I found out a month or two before my 62nd birthday and I imagine I've been dealing with the symptoms for a couple of decades just didn't know not to blame my morbid obeisity.

This is horrible the public doesn’t hear about!! Thank you for the details, my gosh! Another awful disease maybe to a lesser degree but awfully uncomfortable to my patients is lichen sclerosis associated with auto immune! Wish the Doctors would cover this. Patients ask about skin grafting. Any universities looking into treatments. Sugar and carbs may be in question.

Cutting your breasts off does not heal cancer these doctors are so friggin crazy wake up women take control of your health

My mother had lymphedema in both legs...it's a horrible disease...kathy bates is amazing, a great actress and wonderful for bringing awareness to this horrible disease

I love Cathy😃💜🇦🇺

Love Kathy Bates

I did not have cancer or surgery, I had no trauma to my body and there is no family history. So how (and why!) do I have Lymphedema in my legs! P.S. One leg is larger.

Kathy Bates has always been great, now she is truly wonderful! No one in Hollywood would ever admit that they had lymphoedema let alone speak out on it as agressively as she does and it's amazing!! Too many people suffer with this without support, without a physician who is knowledgeable in this disorder, qmf and they often feel alone and helpless. It takes a certain type of person to speak out the way she does and as often as ahe does because not only I it painful, disfiguring and causes fatigue she also has been low on energy since having breast cancer treatments, etc. So what she is doing I just amazing. Love her and she actually is trying to help and it is working. I ♥️ you Kathy Bates. We all do!!

Doctors need better training in recognizing this debilitating disease. I started showing symptoms over 20 years ago. Five different doctors, the same two responses: hmmm it looks circulatory and you need to lose weight. Over the years, the swelling, the pain and other symptoms have taken me lower than I can imagine. Had they taken their bias off the table and treated my disease, I would not be in such bad shape today. The swelling, pain and discoloration make me a hermit who never shows skin. Stop telling people they are just fat!

I love Kathy Bates.

Those high chairs are not comfortable for older people-cuts of circ in the thighs

Why does she need to talk about it on TV? Its personal.

Ingrid Bergman also wore an arm stocking for her medical situation. Love you Cathy Bates.

We are so celebrity-obsessed in the U.S.

So glad you touched on this topic. I have suffered from this for 10 years. I sure wish Kathy could have talked more

I would like to suggest persons with lymphedema to research the T-TAPP workouts which work the muscles to help alleviate the edema trapped in the tissue. Some of the workouts are available on KZbin! Also body brushing helps stimulate the lymphatic system.

Thanks Kathy Bates and the interview panel. This is great information.

I love Kathy Bates . I now want to see another katht Bates movie

She’s wonderful. Wish there were more videos of people discussing if they’re seeing results or progress from lymph press machines I’ve had mine 3yrs now and I don’t really see results 😢🥺

My great grandmother, my grandmother, my mother, and one of her sister had breast cancer. All but one got it twice. All of them did from it except one. Therefore when they found a tumor in the auxiliary region of my left breast we decided to remove it and the lymph node or was next to. The labs came back benign. That was about 18-20 years ago. Just one lymph node but they put the drainage tube in a bad place, left it in too long and it had scar tissue adhesion so when they yanked it out it caused trauma. Yet they never told me about lymph lymphedema. It creeps up on you. Stage 0, then 1, then 2, then 3. Considering how sick I am in other ways and how many doctors I see, that I went to the emergency room last November because my lower left leg lad nearly doubled in size, I couldn't bend my knee, my skin was red, three bottom of my foot was blue (

its a nightmare mine came on without warning and these damn things itch... the massages and exercises help.... i stay active... this came on several years after weight loss of 125 lbs. and dietary change... i drink a gallon of water daily... no high sodium... no longer type 2... walk everyday... recent bloodwork shows great... chest xray perfect... i can still fit my clothes size 14... fortunately my jeans are "virtual stretch" technology and support my legs and upper thighs so compression hosiery not needed... i use a lavendar skin treatment that helps relax my skin and muscles... i'm stymied... i'm like wtf?!
