Pre-op assessment before Cancer treatment

Rehabilitation for cancer treatment should start at diagnosis  for best outcomes. this is a research based fact, especially for lymphoedema. "Another appointment" in an often emotionally turbulent time is well worth spent for the future.
Best practice involves referral to appropriate providers for assessment and education pre treatment.
Education of the medical professionals involved with cancer diagnosis to the importance of pre-op assessment is ongoing. 

"Multi-modal prehabilitation requires an interdisciplinary approach, as it proposes a shift from the current healthcare paradigm. The challenge is to recognise that the pre-operative period represents an opportune time for preventative intervention, and to fully utilise this period in order to promote more effective clinical care." (https://associationofanaesthetists-publications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/anae.14505)

ALA Conference 2022

I am fortunate and able to travel to Hobart, Tasmania for the 14th ALA conference.
I have listened to some incredible people present their research. Some of which is enlightening, reinforcing, confronting and even debatable, 
  • assessment of lymphoedema and lipoedema- where we are at now  and the ongoing challenges
  • self- management- strategies, barriers,
  • the financial burden of lymphoedema
  • effectiveness of compression preventing cellulitis
  • chronic oedema and aged care
  • lipoedema- shifting paradigm needed
  • MLD is it effective?
these are just a sample of the topics i was able to attend
want more information on any of the above please comment

It's a Wrap up

To say thankyou to the donors helpers who made the SOZO come to reality from conception, an afternoon tea and education session was held at Solaris Cancer Care in Bunbury last week.  Catering was sponsored by Impedimed- the suppliers of the SOZO- we were grateful as this did not take away funds from the fundraiser. Thankyou to Solaris for the use of the venue.
