Re: Melbourne Lymphodema event 23 May 2019
Yay @Blossom1961 woops I didn’t push send . Following up from Reclaim Your Curves event , Some photos from last Thursday’s Event Reclaim Your Curves “Health and Well-being Goals after Breast Cancer” at the Think Pink living centre with guest speakers maree O’Connor and Adam Brown. Big shout out to the Think Pink Centre . If you haven’t heard of them make sure you do a quick google. They offer full support and provide a comprehensive range of programs and educational sessions, all free of charge. They even have a breast care nurse , her name is Andrea , a wealth of knowledge and a heart of gold. They provided a venue for this event and catered a beautiful lunch of gourmet sandwiches. Big shout out to Maree and Adam to take the time and educate us woman on the latest advancement in technology the SOZO machine that tracks your body composition (including muscles and lymphatic) many of the ladies here even got to try it out . How did you go ladies ??? Unfortunately I didn’t get the chance so il go see Maree at her private practice in SurryHills and get a new base line measurement to track and prevent lymphedema. If anyone is interested I highly recommend maree. Another big shout out to Simply Gluten Free Bakery in Mentone who continues to support and donate their amazing yummy sweets and treats that are 100% gluten free , nut free and dairy free. If you haven’t tried them I too highly recommend. The owner Filimena is absolutely a sweetheart.
