Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare lung disease that primarily affects women between puberty and menopause. In LAM, abnormal cells grow in the lungs and other parts of the body, damaging healthy lung tissue. Over time, these cells form cysts, which impair lung function, reduce oxygen levels, and make breathing increasingly difficult.
Many sufferers of Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). We have recently created an Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
