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 also be severe and ongoing. Our clinic provides services that can assist with managing the side effects of 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. At our clinic we provide diagnosis, initial care and maintenance programs to ensure optimal management with minimal impact on daily function.
