 BREAST CANCER AWARENESS CAMPAIGN WITH CAREER CAMPUS

Bosom Buddies, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Bosom Buddies, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates..................

At no time is education and knowledge more important than in the early detection and treatment of a serious illness. A group of ladies from a variety of cultural backgrounds in Abu Dhabi have formed a support group for breast cancer sufferers and plan to spread awareness with two primary aims.

1. Extend a warm invitation to anyone diagnosed with breast cancer and their families, to offer shared experiences and answer common questions.
2. Inform the pubic about the risks, the necessity for self examination and regular health checks such as mammograms, and the support available through small groups of volunteers like themselves.

The ladies involved are uniquely qualified for this task because they have all suffered from, received medical treatment for, and are living proof that the disease can be beaten. They have been able to maintain a normal family life and have experienced the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatment for themselves.

 

 

 It is a powerful message for a newly diagnosed patient to see these ladies looking healthy and active and realize that they were once faced with the same frightening condition and 8 to 10 months of treatment. Issues such as coping with losing part of or the full breast, hair loss during chemotherapy and the effects of radiation on the skin will appear more personal and less challenging with the ladies offering advice on how to prepare yourself physically and mentally to meet the challenge.

During the month of October they can be found in the shopping malls around Abu Dhabi handing out leaflets with contact details and ready to talk to anyone that needs reassurance or information. Their message is simple:
