Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) is heading to Shepparton, Victoria, as part of our national Information Forum series. We are bringing leading experts to the local community to provide insights on a range of breast cancer topics. We extend an invitation to anyone located in or around Shepparton to join us on Wednesday 26 June for a fantastic day full of information and getting to connect with others in the area.
This Information Forum is for anyone who has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer, who may be living with or after a breast cancer diagnosis and supporters.
If you are unable to attend in person, you can still join us virtually. When registering, select ‘Information Forum – Attending Virtually’. The virtual session will be delivered via Zoom, and you will receive the access link one day before the event.
There will be two simultaneous information sessions throughout the day – one for people with early breast cancer and one for people with metastatic breast cancer. Please register for the session you would like to attend.
Those who have attended our Information Forums have been able to learn new information, connect and develop new friendships and understand what local support may be available. Hear what attendees have had to say!
“The forum was a very good mix of speakers and the right blend of information and space for emotions.”
