Caring for people affected by cancer
Being diagnosed with cancer is traumatic. Going through treatment is often difficult, lengthy and accompanied by side effects. These side effects may be mild and reversible but can be severe and ongoing. We provide services that will assist you with managing the side effects of your cancer treatment.
Caring for people affected by lymphoedema
Lymphoedema is a chronic condition that can affect both women and men. Most commonly, lymphoedema arises as a result of cancer treatment. Patients affected by lymphoedema benefit from early diagnosis, timely management and ongoing monitoring. Our team provides assessment, initial care and maintenance programs to ensure optimal management with minimal impact on daily function.
