"Soul Sisters" program went around the country for the 7th consecutive year to support women diagnosed with breast cancer and their loved ones.
In 2023 we visited 6 cities in the country – Vidin, Gabrovo, Dobrich, Kardzhali, Plovdiv and Panagyurishte. We provide psychological, emotional, practical and informational support to newly diagnosed women with breast cancer who are currently undergoing treatment, as well as to women with metastatic disease.
Our survivors and psychologists meet with 102 women with the diagnose. During the meeting we talked about all aspects of life with breast cancer, showed videos with important information for patients from leading experts in the field of oncology, gynecology and kinesitherapy. The ladies received practical advices, asked their questions to the survivors and psychologists of One in 8, as well as received free of charge informational brochures, turbans, wigs, specialized post-mastectomy bras and post-mastectomy primary prothesis.
In the coming months, we will be working on enriching the program so that we can be even more helpful to breast cancer patients in the coming year.
I would like to thank all of you again for your continued support for the „Soul sisters” program.
Your help is extremely important for the One in 8 Foundation, thanks to which we are able to reach more women throughout Bulgaria.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
