Congratulations to Dr. David Chang on such a successful event of the Chicago Breast Symposium and 7th World Symposium on Lymphedema Surgery, April 26-28, 2018 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Under his leadership, the reputation of both symposiums increases higher than ever. This meeting provided a great platform where experts, physicians, and therapists can share and exchange the most up-to-date researches, diagnosis, management, and treatments of lymphedema and lymphatic disease. Thank you for including me in the programs. I presented my clinical experiences and recent research at two discussion panels.
It was a great pleasure to meet William Repicci, the President, and CEO of Lymphedema Education and Research Network who gave an opening speech of “Lymphedema Awareness” at the conference. The Lymphatic Education & Research Network (LE&RN) is an internationally recognized non-profit organization founded in 1998 to fight lymphatic diseases and lymphedema through education, research, and advocacy.
Words cannot express how proud I was to see the presentations of my former fellows who have applied the techniques that they learned in treating lymphedema patients and now have become reputable and recognized experts in lymphedema microsurgery and supermicrosurgery all over the world.
I also had a great time celebrating David’s birthday with his family and my dear friends at his house. Thanks again for the wonderful hospitality!!!
