On the 7th of November 2015 saw Advanced Breast Cancer Group hold the regular Workshop for Women, Partners, Families and Friends. The workshop was a great success with many members and their family attending.
The day featured Dr Russell Richard answering questions about the role of Palliative Care, what it offers, and when it can be accessed followed by a group discussion led by Pia, Mary and Tom.
After lunch was a creative session with Bernard Houston and Mircha Mangiacotti. Video of this creative session will be available soon via the ABCG Youtube channel.
Thank you to all those who attended and were involved in the organisation of such a great workshop.
What can friends do to help?
If you want to help, ask what would be helpful. Practical tasks – shopping, ironing, mowing the lawn, making a meal, walking the dog, hanging the washing – are often the ones that take the effort, energy or time that someone who is having treatment doesn’t have.
