6 The Dundurn Times October 2017 WINGS OF HOPE! BY Glenda Pryor

They sit in a circle all sharing a different yet similar story. This is ‘Wings of Hope’ - a breast cancer peer support group led by Deb Boehm (Dundurn) pictured and Jody Libke (Hanley). The first series of gather- ings in the area for women touched with breast cancer that was held on September 18 at Hanley United Church.

An increase of breast cancer has become more evident as a result of better detection through the breast screening program. Mammograms can now detect a lump as small as a pin head, resulting in early diagnose of the disease at its begin- ning stages. Resulting in more survivor’s, but unfortunately, they lack the support.

Deb realized there was a need for a support group for surviving women in our communities, when one day she was at the Hanley curling rink and spotted Jody, who is also a survivor. As they started to talk, conversation turned to their mechanisms that help them deal with sponsored by the Canadian Cancer personal experiences with cancer.
