    Hi @Dandelion Do you need to have had or considering a breast recon to attend the session with the SOZO? I am remaining lopsided.

    Hi there @kmakm.
    im just following on from the information at handover that past events held at the Elsternwick Hotel had the highest numbers attend. At other venuens across Melbourne there was little turnout. It also seems central to most but not all. 
    The Elsternwick is also pretty quiet on weekends so for a large group it does work well.
    Are you coming to the next event ? 
    Happy to discuss this at the next event for future dates and mix it up :) 
    looking forward to meeting you too x

    Hi @Jane221 
    I’m actually new to organising the social group and have to admit I’m loving it. The connections are very special. 

    Sounds very interesting the sozo machine, I’m excited by the sounds  it’s going to be very informative for many ladies . 
    Hope it helped with your swelling x

    Hi @Dandelion, good on you for organising these get togethers. I'm in NSW so can't get there but find the lunches I have attended on the Central Coast very informative and a great way to connect with others.

    I also recently tried the SOZO machine at the Lymphoedema Clinic at Macquarie University Hospital (where I work) - very interesting and a great eye-opener that can help pinpoint how much muscle mass to build up to help alleviate the lymphoedema. I was also told I have almost 1litre of extra fluid in my hand and arm and where the worst areas of build up are, which helps them target the therapy a bit more. Jane xx
