Events for Women Living with Advanced Breast
Gynaecological Cancer

BreaCan and Cancer Council Victoria welcome you to a forum for women living with all types
of advanced cancer*. (You may have received a flyer for this event as well). Listen to, and be
part of, a discussion about ideas and strategies for maintaining hope and living well in the
face of uncertainty. There will be plenty of time to connect with other women over a
delicious lunch, and in the afternoon we will address the question of how go about seeking
information and support. The nal session gives you the choice of participating in one of
three creative and fun activities; a gentle yoga session; an expressive dance workshop; or a
session focused on reection, discussion and practical exercises to nurture body, mind and
spirit. Partners or a family member are welcome to attend the forum.
Numbers are limited. Please call 1300 781 500 to register by Monday 6 September.

to allow you to share your experiences and to discuss a range of coping strategies within a
small group of women.

providing support to people dealing with cancer and assisting them to feel empowered in
coping with their disease, its treatment and changes in their health.
