The Inaugural Australian Indigenous Cancer Survivors Forum was well attended by 44 keen participants. We had a number of speakers who were happy to share their survivorship stories and the day was a success. Below are some comments we received:
"First I would like to congratulate organisers of the Inaugural Australian Indigenous Cancer Survivors Forum 2010 on a job well done. My name is Christine Fewquandie and I am the Manager of the Burringilly Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Corporation for Aged & Disabled Persons at Woodridge and we had a group of clients who were survivors or carers of Cancer patients and they totally enjoyed the day and found the information and presenters every interesting."

"It has been a great and informative session"
"Very good forum should be extended another day as people started to open up later in the day"
"Thank you"
"I learnt there is much in many ways, which is being done and improvement has been done and which there is always much to lean about things in life to help others to cope and improve and making their lives a bit easy and comfortable"
"Organise more forums"
"To have more Indigenous doctors, counsellors to be more accessible"
"Need to hold more forums - local, state-wide and national as talking about your condition is a path way to healing" "Thank you for today it really was an eye-opener"
"This was a great start and well organised event. I would like to see this extended to non-Indigenous men" "Liked the forum very much, would like to see a national forum" For more information please contact forum organiser at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
