Olympic Torchbearers for Breast Cancer Congratulations to Lyn Swinburne, National Coordinator of Breast Cancer Network Australia, and Emeritus Professor Tom Reeve, Executive Officer of the Australian Cancer Network, both members of the Centre's Management Committee, on their selection as two of the 10,000 Australians who will carry the Olympic flame around the country. The guidelines recognise that women with breast cancer and their families need support to assist them in dealing with the physical, emotional and practical aspects of the disease. The recommendations have been incorporated into both the early and advanced breast cancer consumer guides. The guidelines will be released February 14 and will be available as a reference book and as a summary card.
