It’s been another successful year for the Amazons and I am very proud of our hard-working Committee Members and supporters who have made it possible to donate £10,000 to the SFHT Gamma Scanner Appeal
and buy equipment costing £13,500, making the total expenditure £23,500 since our last Newsletter. 2020 will see an even bigger “spend” as the long awaited Tomosynthesis equipment is soon to be
installed. This “state of the art” technology will have a big impact on breast cancer screening and diagnosis. During the year we have continued to raise breast cancer awareness and to fund-raise.
A wonderful surprise at our “Hunters Race Night” event was when Claire Hunter presented us with a plaque dedicated to her mother, Liz Hunter, a founder member of the Amazons.
It now has pride of place in the Amazon Lounge. We have continued to interact with other groups and attend events including, at the invitation of
Consultant Breast Surgeon Mr. Ali Jahan, the “Getting It Right First Time” event held at King’s Mill. This review was led by Fiona MacNeil of the Royal Marsden Hospital and
facilitated by Tracey Irvine of the Royal Surrey County Hospital.
It followed the collection of national data, to which King’s Mill had contributed and was an opportunity for
interactive discussions between Tracey Irvine and Mr. Jahan as the presentation was viewed. Mr. Jahan ably helped us to see the presented national information in relation to King’s
Mill. How lucky we are to have this conscientious, inspiring and dedicated doctor and his Team.
I would like to thank again all our supporters whose efforts benefit breast cancer patients at King’s Mill and to thank the Doctors, Breast Care Nurses, Receptionists, Administrative Staff,
Radiologists, Radiographers and Oncologists (The Team).
A BIG "THANK YOU". Bless you, Beryl Perrin
