BCNA’s leading Seat at the Table (SATT) program trains people with a lived experience of breast cancer to be Consumer Representatives (CRs). Our 60 BCNA CRs represent Australians affected by breast cancer at conferences, on committees and in research so they have a voice at the table where decisions are made. Watch our CRs talking about the SATT program. #advocacyinhealthcare #patientrepresentation #healthcareadvocacy #consumeradvocacy #breastcancer #BCNAPinkLady

In April of this year, I’ll be celebrating FIFTEEN years of being healed from cancer. This is video #8 in a series of videos I’m recording to share my experience as a long-term survivor of a young adult cancer. I’m making these videos to promote awareness of the issues that cancer patients and survivors deal with, as well as to advocate for research in the area of long-term survivorship. In this video, I describe what the first stage of treatment for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma was like for me. My aim is to keep these videos relatively succinct, so in this video I focus on what took place rather than how I felt about it. In my next video I’ll describe the major hiccup that I encountered toward the end of my six months of chemotherapy treatment and how instrumental my mother was in saving my life. Advocacy matters. ************ Follow me to learn more about my story and the steps I’m taking to advocate for long-term cancer survivors. Please note, I am not speaking as a medical professional, but as a survivor of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Thanks for tuning in instead of tuning out. *********** #cancerresearch #survivor #advocacy PS: The file below is a video 🎥, not a photo 📸

integrative oncology is way to go 

For the first time ever, experts anticipate that there will be more than 2 million cancer diagnoses in America in 2024. That’s 2 million times someone will hear the words, “you have cancer.” More than ever, we need Congress to increase funding for lifesaving cancer research. This research has already led to countless medical advancements, but we need to do more. We need more scientists in labs researching more new ways to prevent cancer, new ways to diagnose the disease in its earlier, more treatable stages, and more cures. Will you join us in urging Congress to act? Send a message asking your members of Congress to support an increase in #CancerResearch funding in their next budget bill:
