Supporting Sisters and Aunties to Survive: Breast Cancer Summits for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women
Summits
Join other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, Aboriginal Health Workers and Health Professionals working in women’s health at the following free breast cancer Summits in 2010:
- Darwin, NT, May (already held)
- Lismore, NSW, June (already held)
- Broome, WA, September
The summits are an excellent opportunity to receive important information about:
- What breast cancer is
- Treatment options for survival
- Returning home
- Sources of strength and support
There will also be an opportunity to share your own experiences and stories with other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women who have had breast cancer themselves or who have supported a friend or family member through breast cancer.
