BreaCan’s Here & Now Group Program

Commencing in September 2013
BreaCan sta ff regularly facilitate six week group programs for women living with advanced breast cancer or a gynaecological cancer. The groups aim to enable women to make connections with other women, to share experiences and knowledge and to discuss issues in a safe and supportive environment.

To register or get more information, please contact: Wendy Pullan on 9921 0837 or wendy.pullan@breacan.org.au, or Jennifer Rigby on 9921 0836 or jenny.rigby@breacan.org.au.

Palliative Care - Your Questions Answered
Monday 14 October 11.00am - 12.30pm
(please note this is an open session and not specifically for women living with advanced cancer)
Palliative care aims to give people control over their treatment options and their quality of life. It’s about putting the supports and safety net around you and your family to ensure that symptoms are well controlled, that carers get the support they need, that stress and anxiety is minimised, and that practical issues are addressed. Associate Professor Kate Jackson, Director Supportive and Palliative Care, and Gabrielle O’Connor, Palliative Care Nurse Consultant Manager, Consult Service from Monash Health will discuss these issues and answer your questions. Partners, friends and family are welcome to attend.
Session jointly hosted by BreaCan and Ovarian Cancer Australia. Request to attend this session

In this session he will talk about new treatments for bone metastases in advanced breast cancer, current thinking, and management strategies. There will be an opportunity to ask general questions.
