Patient 87

Testimony of helplessnes

Ntwetwe, Kyankwanzi District,uganda
“I started experiencing unexplained swelling in my lymph nodes back in 2015. After a few weeks, the swelling spread to my ankle and gradually worsened. I visited several hospitals, but every diagnosis I received was incorrect—no one seemed to understand what was happening to my leg. Out of desperation, I turned to herbal remedies and even traditional beliefs, hoping for a solution.

It wasn’t until I connected with the Edema Support Foundation that things began to change. Through their support, I finally found some relief and, most importantly, learned about my actual condition—lymphedema. The foundation not only helped manage my symptoms but also gave me the knowledge and confidence to take control of my health.

I’m grateful to the Edema Support Foundation for guiding me through this journey. One of their core goals is helping patients understand their condition, and I’m living proof of the impact that goal is achieving.

Coming from Ntwetwe in Kyankwanzi District, I had little access to the right information and care. But thanks to the foundation, I now have hope and a path forward.
