Launch of Breast Cancer support group
September 22, 2008
Rhondda Cynon Taf Mayor Cllr Margaret Davies was guest of honour at the official launch of a vital Breast Cancer support group this month.
She was pleased and proud to officially open Breast Cancer Support for Pontyclun and the surrounding areas, an essential network formed by Barbara Powell.
Barbara formed the group after being diagnosed and treated for breast cancer herself. With little knowledge of any cancer support group in her area, she attended the Rhondda Breast Friends Cancer Conference and wanted to emulate their inspiring support and peer system in her local area.
As a result, Breast Cancer Support for Pontyclun and the surrounding area was formed to offer essential peer support for those going through difficult times, offering advice, information, support and motivation for patients, carers and their families.
Cllr Davies said: “I was honoured to be at the launch of such a worthwhile support group that helps those who suffer with breast cancer, as well as their families.
It is hoped the group will now meet on the first Monday of every month at the same location at 7.30pm.
