used to track your body composition (including muscles and lymphatics) as
you get back to your activities of daily living through both your cancer
treatment and beyond.
You will have the opportunity to try this technology.

Comments
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
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
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
Of course your more than welcome to attend. Reclaim your curves was created to assist woman plan their lives after breast cancer and provide information, and specifically support woman seeking breast reconstruction. This event @ the think pink centre is therefore providing information to life after breast cancer and the topic:
Health and well-being goals after breast cancer .
The Saturday luncheons are more specific to woman that are considering or have had breast reconstructions.
If you would like to attend just rsvp so I how many will be attending .
Thanks x
Is the lunch for women who have had a breast reconstruction or having one? I had a lumpectomy
