With over 40 years of clinical experience, Professor John Boyages AM is a recognised leader in breast cancer treatment and survivorship care. He’s known not only for his expertise in complex cases – including lymphoedema, breast conservation, DCIS and advanced radiation techniques – but for his deeply personal, empathetic approach.

Driven by the belief that knowledge empowers, John has spent his career helping patients take control of their treatment and their lives. That mission continues in his latest book.

Lymphoedema TAKING CONTROL

Lymphoedema is a distressing condition that can occur after cancer treatment, leaving patients with swelling as an obvious reminder of their journey. This book provides practical guidance on preventing, diagnosing and managing lymphoedema. The book covers causes, early detection, treatment options and emotional effects, and debunks common myths. While focused on the arm and breast, its advice can apply to other areas. This essential guide is intended for patients, caregivers, lymphoedema therapists and other health professionals.

Reviews

“As a patient of John Boyages, I was so grateful for his professionalism and for the compassion and clarity with which he explained the options available to me during my breast cancer treatment. All these qualities are evident in this wonderfully practical book. John has the unique ability to convey complex medical information in a manner that makes it both digestible and easy to apply for the layperson.”

“This is an excellent book that explains lymphoedema in an easy-to-understand way for the patient. It must be translated to other languages!”

Professor Håkan Brorson

“This book is a heartfelt and practical resource for understanding how to take control in the prevention and management of lymphoedema, from screening to compression, exercise, and how to live a full life despite the diagnosis. John breaks down such complex topics into practical advice while keeping the patient central in his every word.”
