recommendation

I am hoping that I can ask about this, but please delete if not. 
I am 18 months post treatment for hormone positive breast cancer stage 1.  I had a lumpectomy followed by radiotherapy which finished in November 2019. I am no longer under the care of the radio-oncologist and see the surgeon six monthly.  I am on femera from which I suffer a range of side-effects. Over the last few months I have been having increasing neck and shoulder pain on the side of the cancer.  My physio, who I have consulted, is a sports physio and has very little experience in breast cancer related things, so I was wondering if anyone has come across a physio in Perth who has specific expertise in breast cancer? I tried to contact my breast care nurse who I only had minor contact with way back when, but no answer. Any assistance would be helpful
Thanks
  • Hi there
    I am in Sydney so can’t help you with a Perth recommendation but would definitely recommend a physio who specialises in women who have had breast cancer surgery.
    I go to a physio at “Women in Focus “ at Bondi Junction who I found via the Wellness Centre at the Kinghorn Cancer Centre.She has really helped me get back ( almost) my full range of movement.
