Everybody’s breast cancer journey is different, but the path is relatively the same...and sadly, it’s a well-worn path, with one in seven women experiencing breast cancer during their life.

What you need is a steady hand to guide you – someone with the expertise to explain your options and the experience to do so with empathy.

Gold Coast Private Breast Surgeon, Dr Rafid Alzubaidy has given us his expert guidance on breast cancer treatments. You can read about it on our blog - https://goldcoastprivatehospital.com.au/blogs/breast-cancer-an-individual-journey-on-a-well-worn-path

Breast health is more than screening, it is knowing your density.

Specialist Breast Surgeon Dr Maree Kekeff from Gold Coast Breast Centre says mammograming fatty breasts is like x-raying water - you can see everything, but mammograming dense breasts is like x-raying concrete.

“This creates a diagnostic dilemma,” says Dr Kekeff.

“Knowing your density will help with planning for future screening.”

For World Dense Breast Day, we are sharing the five facts to help you identify and manage dense breasts:

👩Breasts are made of fat and glands that make milk, held together by fibrous tissue. The more glands and fibrous tissue compared to fatty tissue that a woman has, the “denser” her breast tissue.

👩Many women have dense breasts. This is normal and common. In fact, nearly half of women over age 40 have dense breasts.

👩When radiologists look at mammograms, they can see how dense the breasts are.

👩Dense tissue appears white on a mammogram, and so does cancer. This makes it harder for radiologists to see cancer in dense breasts. Because cancer can be missed, it is often found when larger and at a later stage in women with dense breasts.

👩Dense breasts are also a risk factor for breast cancer. A woman’s risk for breast cancer increases with the level of density in her breasts.

Our wonderful Cancer Care Nurse Navigator Samantha Ormerod organised a Go Lime For Lymphoma morning tea and raffle, raising $692 to help fund vital support from Specialist Lymphoma Care Nurses.

Before joining Gold Coast Private, Sam worked for Lymphoma Australia and experienced first-hand the positive difference this support makes for sufferers.

"During my time as a Specialist Lymphoma Care Nurse, I had the privilege of walking alongside so many patients and families through some of their toughest moments. That experience shaped my way I care today. Now at Gold Coast Private, I carry those lessons with me - helping people feel supported, informed and never alone. This Lymphoma Awareness Month, I’m fundraising to help make sure no one must go through it alone-every dollar makes a difference," says Sam.

If you'd like to help Sam's fundraising efforts and support people suffering with lymphoma, you can donate at golime.lymphoma.org.au

🦾 Gold Coast Private Welcomes Queensland’s First State-of-the-Art Mako 4 Robot 🦾

Gold Coast Private Hospital is proud to be the first hospital in Queensland – and one of the first in Australia – to acquire the latest-generation Mako 4 robot for robotic-assisted hip and knee replacement surgery.

This means more Gold Coast locals can access world-class surgical care closer to home, with faster recovery times and improved outcomes.

GCPH has been a leader in robotic orthopaedic surgery since 2016, performing over 3,000 robotic hip and knee procedures with its first Mako robot.

The Mako 4 brings even greater surgical precision and advanced capabilities, including support for revision hip replacements and future spine procedures.

What’s new with Mako 4?
✅ Enhanced visibility during surgery
✅ Smarter tech for more personalised and accurate procedures
✅ Smaller and more flexible design that fits better in operating rooms
✅ Can handle more complex surgeries, improving outcomes for patients with challenging conditions

This milestone marks an exciting new chapter in the hospital's commitment to cutting-edge surgical innovation, patient care, and clinical excellence.

With two Mako robots now in operation, GCPH is strengthening its position as a Queensland leader in robotic orthopaedics!

Kit-Kat for a chit-chat? It was a fun way to engage our team for R U OK Day and start a conversation.

Our Leadership Team wandered the wards wearing yellow and waving balloons while spreading awareness around mental health.

We created paper chains, handwritten with what’s important to people - a visible reminder of things to be grateful for.

The takeaway from today? Life’s ups and downs can cause struggles, and one conversation can change a life. Remember the four steps:

1. Ask R U OK?
2. Listen
3. Encourage action
4. Check-in

The role of nutrition in women's health cannot be understated, particularly during menopause.

While it's a natural stage of life, hormonal changes during this time can bring new challenges for health and wellbeing. Falling oestrogen and progesterone levels affect metabolism, bone strength, heart health and mood. Many women experience weight gain, reduced muscle strength, changes in cholesterol and disrupted sleep.

Gold Coast Private dietitian Carly Barlow gave us some quick tips on dietary changes that can support you through menopause:

👩Increase your protein - this helps preserve muscle and maintain metabolism.
👩Boost bone health nutrients - calcium, vitamin D and magnesium protect against osteoporosis.
👩Focus on fibre and low GI foods - these assist with blood sugar stability and weight management.
👩Prioritise healthy fats - omega-3s from fish, nuts and seeds support heart and brain health.
👩Reduce alcohol and processed foods - improves sleep and may ease symptoms such as hot flushes.

Menopause is not just a stage of change — it is also an opportunity to invest in long-term wellbeing.
