Secondary breast cancer information resources for Greek and Chinese women

Breast Cancer Network Australia plans to develop resources translated in Greek and Chinese for women and their families affected by secondary breast cancer. To ensure the information is relevant and culturally appropriate Breast Cancer Network Australia is conducting focus groups with women and their family member /support person.

 

Breast Cancer Network Australia is looking for people affected by secondary breast cancer (i.e. whose breast cancer has spread to other parts of the body) either as a patient or family member to participate in our focus groups.

 

We want to learn from your experience to support Greek and Chinese people affected by secondary breast cancer in the future. The study involves attending a focus group (group discussion) for 1.5 hours at a local community support centre with either women with secondary breast cancer or family members. Refreshments, a small gift and transport costs to the venue will be provided to thank you for your time.
