Thanks for your helpful comments. I never had a breast nurse actually as I returned from surgery at 5.30pm and was gone by 10am. Someone did come though dropped off pamphlets and exercises. Radiation oncologists gave me some names of lymph physio however they are not taking new clients.
I did notice the conference at Kedron RSL and unfortunately I am out of town then.

thanks you again for your help on my journey. Have a great day
