Raising awareness in Hunter region NSW

As Reclaim Your Curves reaches more people and we explain what we are about, there is a common theme among the uninitiated......a sincere disbelief that the NEED TO KNOW information for a woman facing mastectomy is simply not there when she needs it.

The quite reasonable assumption is that you will be provided with all the info you will need by your healthcare team, unfortunately for many, its simply not the case.

This radio interview is ahead of Reclaim Your Curves' first of several awareness events across Australia. These events aim to raise the awareness among women before they have their breast cancer mastectomy so they can make an informed decision about the future of their bodies.

Listen to the interview here​
