I'm Leah and I have Lymphangiomas on my abdomen. I've had them for a very long time (since I was a toddler) and I've tried to get rid of them. I've had many laser surgeries that didn't really work and I stopped having them back around 2002. For the past couple months they have been spreading and I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a new type of laser treatment or a different type of treatment for them.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Hi Leah: I did a bit of research on several sites and the best site I could come up with for treatment is this one
http://www.answers.com/topic/cystic-lymphangioma
Also I have found this site for you - it is a bit more advertisy though!!! But check it out anyway - you never know!
http://hemangioma-options.com/
Have you ever been put on Immune booster medication? I know it is not a immune disorder, but I also know that a LOT of moles and warts etc have a close relationship to a low immune system! Also have your doctors ever mentioned about having the Angiomas massaged - such as having a Lymphatic Drainage!?
I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help! Hopefully the above links might give you a bit more information than you already have! Good luck and health!

I like those sites that Bambi suggested for you! I think that you should check them out to see if they help you out. I don't know of any new lasers being developed but I'm not very familiar with lymphangiomas. It is worth a look on those sites. Let me know what you think!
Thanks for the sites bambi, they are very helpful in learning more about my condition. I think I'm going to make an appointment with my doctor to see if I can get more information on my condition, in regards to laser treaments. I'm also going to ask about those treatements that were listed on the second website.
Thanks for your help. :-D
If anyone else knows of any information, please let me know. :-)

Hi leah, have you felt any better since beinga ble to go to those websites? I'd like an update if you're still around and if you're willing to talk about it. Let e know okay?
Yeah, the information did help me out and I'm glad I could find out more information.
I set up a doctor appointment for the end of October, so hopefully I'll be able to see if the information will help my condition.
Thanks for all the help!
P.S.- if anyone finds more information, please post it here...thanks!
