Second Hope Support Group via Zoom – 25 September

  • Second Hope Support Group
     25/09/2024
     1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

Join us via Zoom with guest speaker Dale Ischia with: Exercise & Metastatic Breast Cancer.

Amid the chaos of cancer treatment, focusing on aspects you can control is crucial, and exercise is one such thing. Exercise offers numerous well-documented benefits for individuals with breast cancer. When dealing with a metastatic diagnosis, there are additional factors to consider, such as bone metastases and fatigue, which can impact your exercise routine. In this presentation, Dale will explore how to approach exercise with metastatic breast cancer, addressing these specific considerations and highlighting the many benefits of staying active.

Dale is an accomplished Accredited Exercise Physiologist with over 25 years of clinical experience, specialising in oncology for the past 11 years. She is the founder of ‘Moving Beyond Cancer’, a highly regarded exercise physiology program that is dedicated to improving the lives of people with a cancer diagnosis through appropriately prescribe exercise.

For all those in attendance to the Moving Beyond Cancer talk, Think Pink is offering a $40 subsidy for an Initial Assessment with a Moving Beyond Cancer Exercise Physiologist. A code word will be shared during the talk to access this subsidy.

This support group offers understanding and education to women over 50 at all stages of Metastatic Breast Cancer.

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 with women that understand the challenges you and your family face living with a diagnosis of Metastatic Breast Cancer.

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 Jamie Kelly and we are often joined by a guest speaker to offer their expertise on a particular breast cancer topic or health related topic.
