24.01.2022 ENQUIRIES ARE RECOMMENDED - THE BLISS L-DEX MONITORING PROGRAM L-Dex is the first product of its kind to utilize bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS), a non-invasive system for accurately measuring tissue composition and fluid status, to identify lymphedema up to 10 months before there is evidence of limb swelling. Early detection and subsequent intervention may help prevent the progression of the disease and, in some instances, even reverse it.... "Fluid monitoring is a critical component in the continuum of care for cancer survivors," said Richard Carreon, Managing Director and CEO of ImpediMed. "L-Dex is an accurate measurement tool, which can help improve health outcomes for patients through earlier identification of lymphedema." http://www.wral.com/lifestyles/healthteam/video/11920027/ #lymphoedema #lymphedema #LDex #lymphoedemamonitoring #bloomhillcancercare #earlydetection #breastcancer #bioimpedancespectroscopy #bliss

24.01.2022 THE MAN WITH A LYMPHOEDEMA PLAN Lymphoedema - how do you explain to your partner or children, what you experience when your arm or chest feels tight, swollen or heavy? Or when your ribs "grab" as you take a deep breath or stretch, due to radiation treatment... Are you able to articulate your needs in a way that ensures you receive additional help with work that has become too difficult to manage alone? Does the difficulty of the explanation mean that it is easier to do all... of the work yourself, at the risk of causing more painful swelling to your body? Join us in our members only group as we seek out and then collate all of your concerns. Our University of the Sunshine Coast masters program counselling intern, Ross de la Haye, will shortly be creating a resource for you to access to assist with this dilemma. Not to be treated lightly, is the anxiety that builds due to not being heard or receiving the assistance you feel you require. Ross will help you build the skills you require. However...Ross needs your "lived experiences" in order to assist. If you have received treatment for breast cancer in the past, or even the very distant past....and you haven't joined us already in the members only group, please message us for access. #breastcancer #breastlymphoedema #lymphoedema #lymphedema #radiation #lumpectomy #mastectomy #bloomhillcancercare #bloomhill #BLISS #bloomhilllymphoedemaservice #rossdelahay #counsellingintern #universityofthesunshinecoast #mastersprogram #ralphlaurenpinkpony #canceraustralia #armlymphoedema #chestlymphoedema #breastradiation #cancerlivedexperience

14.01.2022 Why were the BLISS girls playing with guns and tanks? It was all part of the BLISS Road Show... Kerryn and Debbie from BLISS were on the road to assist with lymphoedema education and provision of L-Dex measurements in rural and remote areas of South East Queensland. As you can see, we had to fight our way through a battlefield in order to get to where the patients were... Well we were actually set up in the memorial bar of the Kilcoy RSL, and were well looked after by the Kilcoy Cancer Survivors Group and the Kilcoy RSL. Big thank you goes out to the Cancer Council's Clare Howard for her input of our BLISS Road Show. #BLISS #CANCERCOUNCIL #BLISSONTHEROAD #KILCOYCANCERSURVIVORSGROUP #RURALCANCER #REMOTECANCER #BLOOMHILL #BLOOMHILLCANCERCARE #BLOOMHILLLYMPHOEDEMA #LYMPHOEDEMASUNSHINECOAST #LDEX

03.01.2022 LOCAL AND GLOBAL SUPPORT OF BLOOMHILL LYMPHOEDEMA INFORMATION AND SUPPORT SERVICES! We are so very proud to share with you, news of our recent collaboration with the Malouf Pharmacies group, and BSN Medical. The wonderfully supportive team at Malouf Pharmacies have joined with BSN Medical, the global leaders in compression garments and medical devices, to provide BLISS with an extensive range of compression garments and expert measurement support and advanced training. BSN M...edical compression garments will now be stocked within our lymphoedema clinic through their generous consignment service. This service will allow us to supply compression garments, when required, during a decongestive appointment. This negates the rather lengthy ordering and delivery process which can sometimes take a week to complete. The supportive teams of BSN Medical and Malouf Pharmacies have toured Bloomhill Cancer Care several times and now call themselves proud supporters of BLISS. On behalf of our clients - we send out a huge thank you to these amazing people. (Pictured from left to right - Debbie Tolhurst (Malouf Pharmacies), BLISS RN Kerryn Mahony, Dan Ammenhauser (BSN Medical), Peta Ford (BSN Medical) and Debbie Myers BLISS Decongestive therapist. #maloufpharmacies #bsnmedical #bliss #bloomhillcancercare #bloomhill #lymphoedema #sunshinecoastlymphoedema #compressionsleeves #gauntlets #secondarylymphoedema #lymphoedemasupport
