Breast cancer delegates tour Juravinski centre

Representatives from more than 30 countries are taking part in the 6th World Breast Cancer Conference in Hamilton.

The Juravinski Cancer Centre hosted the delegates Thursday. They were given a tour of the world-class facility and shown presentations about different treatment programs. The conference provides an exchange of ideas, finding ways for under-privileged countries to take a lead in treating breast cancer.

Amy is the fifth in a line of Zambian women who’ve attended the conference. Three of her predecessors have lost their own battles with breast cancer, but not before laying a foundation for breast cancer programs in their home country.
