A breast cancer diagnosis brings fear, uncertainty and many questions. To answer them, Tomares Town Council and the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC) are organising “I have breast cancer, what now?” on Monday 19 October, World Breast Cancer Day, from 6.30 to 8.30 pm in the Council Chamber (Calle de la Fuente, 10). Admission is free.
The Town Hall façade will be lit pink that day.
Who is taking part
The event will be introduced by Mayor José María Soriano; AECC’s provincial president in Seville, Jesús Maza; and AECC’s president in Tomares, Concha Rodríguez Herrera. Speakers will be:
- Carmen Blancat Luque, AECC’s comprehensive patient care coordinator in Seville.
- María del Carmen Fernández, radiation oncologist at Hospital Virgen del Rocío.
- Claudia Bernabéu Álvarez, community and family nurse at Tomares Health Centre.
- María Valero Arbizu, medical oncologist at Hospital Quirón’s Oncoavanze centre.
