BAHRAIN’s Breast Cancer Support group will restart its monthly meeting on October 26, following the summer break.
It will be from 7.30pm to 9.30pm, at Diplomat Radisson Blu Hotel, Residence and Spa.
The non-profit women’s group, acting independently under the umbrella of Bahrain Cancer Society, has been operating since its foundation by Adrienne Buck and Jane Goodwin in March 2008.
Meetings take place on the last Tuesday of every month, except during the summer and December.
They are open to women of all ages and cultures living in Bahrain, who are affected by breast cancer and undergoing all stages of treatment.
Under the group’s rules of confidentiality and anonymity, survivors of breast cancer are able to share their experiences and knowledge in a quiet and friendly atmosphere.
Attendance is voluntary and participants contribute to group discussions about local resources and facilities that have benefited them during their treatment.
The group relies on voluntary work and the Royal Suite is provided free by the hotel.
