Across Australia, every October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month; a national initiative to raise awareness about the impact of breast cancer. This year, in collaboration between AESTEC Services, Central Queensland Hospital and Health Service, McGrath Breast Care Nurse Sally Haley and local artist Katrina Elliott, we’re proud to share “Our Story.” Here we bring together the incredible stories from people who have been impacted by breast cancer. Everyone’s story and experience is different.
In addition, to aid with breast awareness, check out the below resources from the McGrath Foundation or visit the McGrath Foundation website
