They sound wonderful Janette. We have quite a few partners who join up and it is good to have resources like that to steer them towards.Also we often get queries about radiation...especially in the treatment of secondary BC.

Great work and congratulations ABCG and Queensland Health!

Launch of New DVD's by Advanced BC Group Qld

Dear Ladies,

Message from the Advanced Breast Cancer Group Qld.

We are about to launch two new DVD resources - one for Partners and Carers called "Walking Beside Her: a Partner's journey with secondary breast cancer" and the second "Ask a Radiation Oncologist: Common questions about radiotherapy in the treatment of cancer".

We would like to announce this on the forum and invite people in Brisbane who may wish to attend the launch. Both DVD's will be available free of charge as is our previous one for women "You're not alone: A film about living with secondary breast cancer."

"Walking beside her" is based on the experience of Peter who reflects on his journey of walking beside his wife Fran, who had secondary breast cancer for 8 years and died in January 2010. Throughout this time Fran was a member of the Advanced Breast Cancer Group and Peter was a member of the Partner's Group. In this film he talks about their journey together from diagnosis to the final days, in the hope that this will be of help to other partners and carers of women with secondary breast cancer.

" Ask a radiation oncologist" is based on a Q&A session as part of a workshop run by the Advanced Breast Cancer Group in May 2010 in Brisbane. Dr Robyn Cheuk, Senior Radiation Oncologist, Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital answers such questions as : Is a single large dose as good as multiple small doses? Is it possible to have radiation more than once on the same site? How effective is it for treating cancer and for pain relief? While the session was for women with secondary breast cancer, we think it may benefit people with other types of cancer.

Both DVD's were produced by the ABCG and funded by Queensland Health.
