Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM)💗
"We don't want women coming out of this crushed. We want women not just to survive, but to thrive." - Lyn Swinburne, founder of Breast Cancer Network Australia💗 October is an annual opportunity to reflect on how far we've come together, celebrate the progress we've made, and recognise that there is still important work ahead. 🔎We still need to find breast cancer earlier 💕We still need better treatment options and more equitable access to care 📢 We still need to help people navigate a complex health system and advocate for the changes that matter most At Breast Cancer Network Australia, we will not stop working towards a future where no life is limited by breast cancer. As we begin this BCAM, we'd love to highlight a wonderful ABC story featuring our Founder, Lyn Swinburne, and CEO, Kirsten Pilatti. The article explores how BCNA's advocacy helped achieve affordable access to a life-changing breast cancer treatment 20 years ago, and how that work continues to shape our advocacy for better access to treatments today. 📰 Read the ABC story: How a breast cancer treatment trial changed the lives of Australian women We're also proud to share our latest campaign, The Whole Story 💗 Every breast cancer experience is unique, and every story matters. Through this campaign, we're shining a light on the realities of breast cancer and the support, care and advocacy needed at every stage. ✨ Learn more about The Whole Story: https://www.bcna.org.au/the-whole-story Thank you to everyone in our community who shares their experiences, supports others, and helps drive change. Together, we're creating a future where no life is limited by breast cancer. 🤝
