    Sounding like a great event, so hopefully lots of ladies in the Central West region of NSW can join us. I understand the following Guest Speakers are involved:
    • Dr Bill Mackie, regional Breast Surgeon operating out of Orange, Bathurst and Mudgee
    • Dr James French, Head of Breast Surgery at Westmead Breast Cancer
      Institute (BCI)
    • Dr Rohit Kumar, Consultant Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon and VMO for Nepean Hospital, responsible for both training and performing a range of plastic surgery
      procedures
    • Sue Kutar, local Breast Care Nurse
    There will also be women who have had reconstruction sharing their stories as well as representatives from a number of community organisations such as Encore, Dragons Abreast, Look Good Feel Good providing information and support services  :)<3
