Attention: REGISTRATION REQUIRED
Aim
Patient academy
In a closed session of maximum 25 participants, women will be given the opportunity to talk and share experiences amongst themselves. About one third of the group (women who have undergone breast conservative surgery or mastectomy, with or without breast reconstruction) will share testimonies, experiences and feelings with ex-breast cancer patients contemplating breast reconstruction or with women who have just been diagnosed with breast cancer. The round table discussion is guided by a plastic surgeon. No ex-cathedra presentations. Women are allowed but never forced to show their breast reconstruction result to the group. Intimacy and discretion are key in this session.
Target audience
Patient academies: former breast cancer patients with or without breast reconstruction, women presently confronted with breast cancer
