On the 5th of November 2016 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 Vikram Jain, a medical oncologist at the Mater Cancer Care Centre. Dr Jain gave a brief talk, and answered questions about the disease and treatment. This was followed by a viewing of the upcoming Advanced Breast Cancer Group DVD.
After lunch was a creative session to further discuss the new DVD that is currently in production.
Thank you to all those who attended and were involved in the organisation of such a great workshop.
