Guest Speaker Robyn Harris, Improving Outcomes for Lymphoedema

Robyn's vision is to provide a surveillance program to aid early interventions and improved outcomes for people of the south west at risk of limb lymphoedema - primarily women as they are the majority affected. Prevention is the key to managing lymphoedema (swelling of a body region). The primary cause is cancer treatment- chemo/radiotherapy/surgery where the lymphatic system becomes damaged and unable to function efficiently resulting in the accumulation of fluid and waste in the tissues and effecting the body’s immune response to infection.

Assistant District Governor Fiona Hinds along with Paco Tovar from the Bunbury Leschenault Rotary Club will also join us to talk about their club's projects including the  upcoming Opshop Ball and Give a Damn, Give a Can.
