All ready for an awesome day!! Breast Cancer charity golf day here we come. 💕💕💕

01/10/2026

It’s Breast cancer awareness month. A month to create awareness, raise money, support others, celebrate, cry, stand together.

Every woman will definitely show a different emotion, need support in a different way . Not all will be celebrating, some may not even want to be reminded of their cancer. And that’s ok.

My goal in October is to raise awareness of breast cancer to women. Go get checked, have your scan, check your b***s, get to know what’s normal. But also if needed you’re not alone . There is so much support out there, an awesome community of women to lean against.

I’m so grateful breast awareness has helped many friends and my mum through this horrible disease. But they have all come out strong and unfortunately many are still fighting.

Breast cancer doesn’t end when chemo, radiation, reconstructions, rehab has finished, for most it’s only just the beginning. The side effects and on going medication is tough.

So let’s use this month to create that awareness. Raise money….and go get checked 💕

Some new research on the positive effects/ benefits of Lipoedema surgery. 🙌

New research findings update!

The German LIPLEG trial, ‘Liposuction versus conservative therapy for patients with lipoedema in Germany: a multicentre, randomised controlled clinical trial’ (Podda et al., 2026), found that liposuction produces substantially greater leg-pain relief and quality-of-life improvements than conservative therapy alone for women with stage I–III lipoedema.

It’s the first large, multi-centre randomised controlled trial of its kind, and at 12 months, 68% of participants receiving liposuction achieved a clinically meaningful reduction in pain, compared with just 8% receiving conservative treatment.

However, surgery also carried a higher risk of adverse events, including infections, reduced haemoglobin, seroma and thrombosis.

Longer-term outcomes are still being followed, reinforcing the importance of:
careful individual assessment fully informed decision-making about benefits and risks access to experienced, multidisciplinary lipoedema care.

For people living with lipoedema, this trial provides some of the strongest evidence yet that liposuction can be an effective option for pain and function; while also highlighting why safe, specialist surgical pathways and ongoing conservative support remain essential.

Published in The Lancet, you can read it here: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(26)00910-4/fulltext

This evidence-based knowledge strengthens our advocacy as we work towards Medicare coverage for lipoedema care. It is a long road, but high-quality research like the LIPLEG trial helps build the case for why Medicare support is needed.

Noticing subtle changes like tighter clothing or skin changes? These could be early signs of lymphoedema, especially after cancer treatment. Early assessment is key. Consult with a lymphoedema therapist to understand what's happening and get personalized support. Don't ignore these signs; your health matters! 💙

Deep Oscillation Therapy

Uses gentle electrostatic pulses to create soft rhythmic movement in the tissues. It doesn't rely on heavy pressure, so it's a great option for areas that are swollen, painful, or sensitive. I use this in the clinic as an adjunct to treatment to help with oedema, fibrosis, scar pain, and tissue mobility.

Deep oscillation has been an awesome treatment modality in my practice. I have not only seen huge benefits in clients' symptoms, but the clients themselves report a significant improvement.
