This October, we acknowledged Breast Cancer Awareness Month across SALHN, an opportunity to raise awareness of breast cancer and call for action to further improve access to timely diagnosis and quality care.
This year’s theme that “every story is unique, every journey matters” recognised every experience of breast cancer is different. Behind every diagnosis is a person, a family, and a unique journey, and people may face different challenges depending on their diagnosis, treatment, support networks, and access to care.
This year the Breast and Endocrine Surgical Unit at FMC held a morning tea for both staff and patients.
Nurse Consultant Bindu said the morning tea brought together patients, encouraged meaningful conversations, and fostered a sense of connection and support.
“We are passionate about continuing this initiative in the years to come and show our ongoing support for those affected by breast cancer,” Bindu said.
“Together, we strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our patients and ensure they feel supported, valued, and never alone in their journey.”
Thank you to Bindu, Rachael, Zara, Becca, Chelsea and everyone at SALHN raising breast cancer awareness.
