Breast Care Luncheon

In October last year over 170 breast cancer patients, their families, friends, nurses and special support services gathered at Adelaide Oval for our much loved Breast Care Luncheon. After a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19, it was an absolute joy to see the return of this event during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The Breast Care Luncheon has for over 25 years created the opportunity to bring our patients together, with their loved ones, so they can reflect, learn, laugh and share while being inspired by each other’s journeys. Kate Collins, Nine News presenter, graciously and seamlessly acted as our MC, and proud Kaurna woman Jess Davies warmly welcomed us to her Country. Special guest speaker Dr Charlotte Tottman, a clinical psychologist on cancerrelated distress, shared a wealth of personal and professional informationas well as a link to her 10part podcast series, Upfront

About Breast CancerWhat You Don’t Know Until You Do.

The highlight of the day was the lingerie fashion parade where six amazing women gathered the courage to display custom-made lingerie and swimwear, enabling women postmastectomy to celebrate themselves and not the disease.

Our next Breast Care Luncheon is in October 2023. If you’d like to support the event, please contact: foundation@stand.org.au
