Our First Manchester Seminar: ‘Lifestyle Choices and Cancer’
Today’s post is about our recent seminar ‘Lifestyle Choices and Cancer’ which was held on the 22nd November 2014 at the Manchester Conference centre. With talks from integrative oncologist Dr Francisco Contreras, Cancer Options’ Patricia Peat and Gloria Halim, self-confessed ‘breast cancer warrior’, the morning was full of fascinating insights. Stay up to date with future seminars on our events page or by joining our mailing list (on the right of the page).
The weekend’s grey weather could not put a dampener on the excitement of hosting our very first northern seminar. Whilst the Yes to Life office is based in London, our beneficiaries are spread across the country so reaching out to different regions is very important to us, and the welcome we received in Manchester could not have been warmer. We settled into our seats, notepads at the ready, to learn more about how lifestyle choices can influence experiences of cancer.

Breast Cancer Seminar Review 2014: The Power of Choice with Dr. Contreras
Today's post follows on from our major annual seminar 'Breast Cancer - The Power of Choice' held on Saturday 4th of July 2014. The event was headlined by world renowned integrative oncologist Dr. Francisco Contreras from Oasis of Hope Hospital in Mexico, who alongside other experts aimed to separate myth from fact and share his extensive experience.
The UK has one of the highest incidence rates of breast cancer
in the world and unfortunately it is a figure which is only rising. So as we
sat to begin Yes to Life’s major annual seminar on the topic, it was not without the sense of standing up to issues which in some way affects us all. Hosted
by Yes to Life’s founder Robin Daly, the event took place on Saturday 4th
July at the beautifully historic Glazier’s Hall. Leading oncologists, doctors,
nurses and health care professionals gathered with patients and carers to talk
about the facts about breast cancer, the myths, the options open for sufferers
and most importantly the hope for a healthier future.
