It has been five year’s since the Lafayette String Quartet hosted their first health awareness forum on breast cancer. In that time, advances have been made and much discovered not only in breast cancer, but in many types of cancer. This years forum will explore the advances in diagnosis and treatment that have occurred in many areas of cancer. Top Health Professionals from the BC Cancer Agency and the Victoria and Vancouver medical communities will answer your questions and share their knowledge on what is currently happening in the front lines of cancer treatment and diagnosis.
Whether you or someone close to you has been affected, our wish is that your will find the discussion both informative and encouraging. We live in hope that each year we are that much closer to a cure.
Hope is that thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops… at all. ~Emily Dickinson
