October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Did you know women diagnosed with breast cancer now have more and better treatment options than ever before? That can mean a better chance of surviving with less invasive treatments. It also means that it's even more important to learn all you can about the disease and the treatment options. When you're figuring out what to ask your doctor, consider these questions suggested by the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute:

Life after cancer, is really life after cancer treatment. Often it isn't the cancer that makes you unwell but the invasive treatments to save your life. Yesterday I was given the fantastic news from my team at Mater Cancer Care Centre that after doing life after cancer treatment for 4 years, I am still cancer free! Breast Cancer is starting to look like a blip in my rear view. Please take this as a reminder to conduct self checks and if anything at all does not feel right, seek medical advice.

👩⚕️ Let’s talk about the power of conversation in cancer care. Lauren Hamel, PhD, is tackling one of the most vital—and overlooked—aspects of cancer treatment: communication. Her research at Wayne State University School of Medicine focuses on improving how clinicians and patients talk to each other, especially for patients facing disparities in cancer care and outcomes. Her work aims to ensure that every patient, regardless of their background, gets the understanding, support, and treatment they deserve. With the support of our research funding, Dr. Hamel is showing that a single conversation can spark hope, change outcomes, and redefine cancer care. 🌟

We believe the patient voice should be at the heart of care. Through open communication and informed discussion, clinicians and patients can work together to make informed treatment decisions, tailored to individual needs. We are delighted to partner with the brightest minds in prostate cancer treatment and care: Professor Alison Birtle, Consultant Clinical Oncologist at The Rosemere Cancer Centre, Preston, and expert patient advocates Dr Erik Briers and Carl Guenther, members of Europa Uomo EU, to explore the power of shared decision-making in driving personalised care for people living with prostate cancer. care for people living with prostate cancer.
