The conference 'Pink Palace' will take place on October 12, 2024, at 11:00 AM in the Rudniewa Hall of the Palace of Culture and Science. We invite female patients suffering from cancer, as well as everyone interested in the topics of prevention and oncological treatment.
The event is FREE OF CHARGE!
REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED due to limited seating.
You must confirm your participation by filling out the registration form (the order of applications will be decisive)
The Palace of Culture and Science will become a space where education meets open conversation. Our goal is not only to provide participants with knowledge about modern treatment methods, cancer prevention, and promoting a healthy lifestyle, but also to 'unmask cancer'.
We want to break the taboo and fear that often accompany this disease, showing that cancer is not a death sentence, but a disease that can be effectively treated thanks to modern medicine and appropriate support.
The event will provide a unique opportunity to exchange experiences, obtain answers to pressing questions, and learn practical tips that may prove crucial in treating the disease.
We want this meeting to also serve to change the narrative that we should openly talk about breast cancer and other cancers. Instead of fear, we should talk about advances in medicine, about hope, about the thousands of people who have been cured and now live life to the fullest. A patient who was diagnosed over 20 years ago and was successfully treated will share her extraordinary story.
Her example is proof that with appropriate treatment, support, and determination, one can overcome the disease and enjoy health anew.
We invite everyone who wishes to understand, support, and help.
