Another busy day. Jeff Dunn gave a great speech which stressed how important peer support was and what a valuable contribute it makes even though it is hard to pin down exactly what it is that makes the peer support work.
The talk on male breast cancer incidences and survival was also really fascinating - although this is the same disease men diagnosed do not seem to receive the same support as women and in fact the male survivor present told us that it is other guys who have a hard time understanding and accepting that males do get breast cancer.
The second session I attended was all about a program for children whose parents have cancer - very, very good and some great illustrations of things from the childs viewpoint.
The afternoon was the dragon boat session - which has to change to Plan B due to the inclement weather - I will be writing in detail on the coordinators blog about this bit.
