As many of you know I am fastidious about informing women with breast cancer about the risks of developing Lymphoedema and how to reduce their risks.

This website is for people who have lymphoedema or who are concerned about developing lymphoedema following treatment for cancer. The information is downloadable and it is even available in Chinese, Vietnamese, Italian and Arabic.

There is an excellent guide available for women with early breast cancer and another equally good guide for women with metastatic breast cancer from The National Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre in Australia. These are available to download and are free! I was given this book when I was diagnosed and it certainly answered many of my questions.

Did you know that the Australian Federal Government now gives everyone a free breast prosthesis every 2 years. Come on Malaysia help me continue to advocate for this. This is an excellent use of resources compared with some of the other items being funded! Check out The National Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre Website for some excellent resources for both breast and ovarian cancer.

I do hope you enjoyed Merdeka. Actually I first arrived in Malaysia on Merdeka Day 1981! Yep, its been a long time.
I have just been forwarded a flyer about a very interesting ramadhan-public-talk and dinner being held at Prince Court Medical Centre in Kuala Lumpur on the 10th September. This will be conducted by Ms Tan Yen Sing, a Dietitian who runs their Lifestyle Centre. She will  unveil tips on how one can sustain your energy and maintain a healthy lifestyle during this Ramadhan.

There will also be a live cooking demonstration by their Chef and I have to say the food is good there.
