Hollywood or Bust

1 in 8 women, and men, too, are diagnosed with Breast Can-

cer at some point in their lives - sad, but true.

Hollywood or Bust

is the Breast Cancer Support Group for

breast cancer patients attending Hinchingbrooke Hospital and

provides much-needed camaraderie, emotional support and

solidarity from their peers.

It is for people who have breast cancer and is a source of in-

formation with the breast cancer team in attendance along

with guest speakers, not to mention the benefit of other pa-

tients’ experience. Informal and relaxed, members enjoy the

social contact it provides. It is well attended and all are wel-

come from the point of diagnosis, throughout treatment and

beyond.

Meetings are on the first Wednesday of the month in the Ed-

ucation Centre at the hospital, at 7 p.m.

It is free to attend.

Events also take place throughout the year which can also act

as fund-raisers e.g a ball in October, meals out which are sub-

sidised and the occasional day out which in the past has been

free! Light refreshments are served.
