    Just a reminder to ladies in Southern Sydney, Illawarra and Shoalhaven districts that this event is coming up and we are privileged to have speakers such as Dr Adrian Sjarif, Specialist Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, who has practices throughout Southern Sydney and the Illawarra. Dr Sjarif, who has also been awarded a Breast & Microsurgery Fellowship from the prestigious Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, will be speaking about the latest advances in reconstructive surgery and the growing number of post-mastectomy options available.
