16.01.2022 Today is Lymphoedema Awareness Day. Lymphoedema is a swelling that occurs when lymph fluid builds up in the tissue under the skin. It may develop after surger...y or radiotherapy to the lymph nodes under the arm and surrounding area. Most people who have had breast cancer do not develop lymphoedema. However, its important to know the symptoms and your risks and what to do before and after surgery.

11.01.2022 Hi everyone, Just an update on where the clinic is situated at the moment. I was planning on interstate travel for 12 months, however unable to due to current border restrictions. Due to COVID-19, I decided to close the clinic for now anyway. With the nature of my clinical practice, and as treatments are usually 60mins, the 1.5M social distancing is impossible. I have increased my nursing hours at the hospital to help with the Covid Clinic. I am still able to order any comp...ression garments if needed so please send me a message if you are interested. Stay safe and be kind. Cheers Michelle See more

02.01.2022 Today is Lymphoedema Awareness Day. Lymphoedema can be a side effect of some breast cancer treatments and is a life-long condition that can cause debilitating p...ain and discomfort. In BCNAs 2018 State of the Nation report lymphoedema was identified as the most pressing information need for people with breast cancer. Following this, the establishment of more public lymphoedema clinics and funding for a National Lymphoedema Compression Garment Scheme is one of our top eight priorities for urgent action. If youd like to learn more about why lymphoedema develops, signs and symptoms and what you can do to prevent it, you can join our interactive webcast at 7pm on Thursday 28 March where youll hear from leading lymphoedema experts on these topics.
