Hi Monica

What area do you live in? I'm not sure if the Cancer Council are now able to help with suggestions for a physio for head and neck cancer patients. Last time I called, about 6 months ago, they didn't have a list for referral.

I know another patient who recommends one in Avondale Heights. PM me if you would like the name and phone number.
