Jackie’s Story (part 2)

This is Part 2 of the first person I ever knew with lymphedema: my high school English teacher (Jackie Miller). Doctors weren’t sure why her leg was swelling. Was it cancer recurrence? A blood clot? An ovarian cyst? Scar tissue? Or possibly something else? (Jackie was referred to as Janie’s earlier in the blog for anonymity. With the family’s permission, her real name is being used.)
