“Supporting Blokes “
Providing support for male partners of women diagnosed with breast cancer….
We thought you might like to hear some feedback from the “Supporting Blokes” meetings to not only promote the great outcomes of what is achieved at these gatherings, but also in recognition of the enormous value of this program.
From the "supported blokes"
“Many thanks for allowing me to participate in the program, it has proven beneficial from many aspects in particular allowing me to talk about breast cancer which I found difficult to do in my normal day to day interaction with family and friends, and for creating a discussion point for my wife and I to chat about breast cancer”.
Neil January 2012
“The session was great and I got a lot from it. It was good to be able to talk about concerns I was keeping to myself so as not to upset my wife and get support from other carers dealing or having dealt with similar issues.”
Dean November 2011
“I spoke with two partners during the session and it was uplifting that we have the same concerns, frustrations and decisions…it was reassuring to know “
Peter 2011
