Breast cancer patients, survivors & family members.

Kathryn Hayward, Kimberly Sponagle, Heidi Deal, Marie Earl, Catherine Gunn, Jan Gilby, Tammy Fancy and Joanne Newell of Dalhousie University, are looking for Breast Cancer Patients Survivors or Family members who would be willing to share their story to small groups of students in the Health Profession at Dalhousie University.  Volunteers will be asked share their experience in conjunction with a case study provided to students on the care of a patient with Breast Cancer. There will be a small honorarium presented to the volunteers for their time and dedication to the event.

This event is taking place:

Collaborative Health Education Building, Dalhousie University, 5793 University Avenue
Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Tuesday, October 17^th from 3:30pm-5:30pm and Thursday, October 19^th from 3:30pm-5:30pm. 

       -  Volunteers will have a short orientation provided by Dalhousie, 45 mins, prior to the event and then be a part of the groups for up to 1.5 hours. Volunteers will be supported by faculty who will be present and who will lead the agenda for the day.

       -  Volunteers will be asked to aid groups from varying backgrounds, through a case, providing feedback on their experience,  the emotional aspect of diagnosis, treatment, post treatment and navigating the health care system.

       -  The School is looking for volunteers per session (Tuesday and Thursday) and it would  great if volunteers could commit for both days! However, if volunteers can only commit to one day, the event would be happy to have volunteers for one of the two days!!

       - If volunteers commit for both days they are only required to complete one orientation.

 If anyone is interested they may e-mail Tammy Fancy tfancy@dal.ca
