Pink Sisters (women under 50) Support Group – 21 August

Join us via zoom with guest speaker Karolina Soprun Counsellor from Cancer Council: Navigating Relationships After a Cancer Diagnosis.

This session, “When Everything Changes: Navigating Relationships After a Cancer Diagnosis,” will be led by Karolina Soprun, a counsellor from Cancer Council. Karolina will explore how a cancer diagnosis can impact relationships — including changes in connection with partners, family, and friends. She’ll talk about the emotional toll of being in survival mode, the guilt many women carry, and the shift in relationship dynamics that can leave many feeling isolated or misunderstood.

Karolina is a Counsellor with the Cancer Council and runs her own a private practice in Essendon, where she supports individuals and families navigating the emotional challenges of cancer and other life stressors. Karolina’s journey into counselling was inspired by an earlier career as a Radiation Therapist at Andrew Love Cancer Centre and Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. During that time, Karolina witnessed firsthand the profound psychological impact a cancer diagnosis can have—on both patients and their loved ones. This experience motivated Karolina to re-train as a Counsellor, with a focus on providing compassionate, evidence-based support to those facing the complexities of illness, grief, and change.

In this group you will have an opportunity to meet others who are travelling a similar life path and to share your experiences. This group offers women a chance to connect with others, learn coping strategies and gather information. We discuss how we can best support you through this journey.  The sessions are a safe space to share, learn and help each other get through this hurdle. The sessions are run by our Breast Care Nurse Consultant Christina Grivanos and we are often joined by a guest speaker to offer their expertise on a particular breast cancer topic or health related topic.
