On the 30th of March 2019 saw the Advanced Breast Cancer Group hold the regular Workshop for Women, Partners, Families and Friends. The workshop was a great success, with members and families attending, although we did miss those women who weren’t able to be there this time.
Monica Rottman from Cultivate Calm Yoga spoke about the benefits of yoga, specifically YinYoga for women with metastatic breast cancer.
Dr Darshit Thaker, Oncologist and Palliative Care Specialis and Dr Arron Veltre spoke and answered questions about aspects of palliative care treatment.
After lunch Leila Perrett and Matt Ascough held a Flower Arrangement session. Each member of the group was able to design and construct their own unique floral arrangement to take home at the end of the workshop.
Thanks to everyone for your participation in this.
And thank you to all those who attended and were involved in the organisation of such a great workshop.
