We are a Non Profit Company raising funds for: Timely surgery for newly diagnosed breast cancer patients – currently achieved by funded catch-up surgery lists performed at Groote Schuur Hospital and Tygerberg Hospital in Cape Town (paying for theatre time and nursing staff.) This is to compensate for the tremendous strain on theatre and staff resources that have led to a waiting time of up to 12 weeks for surgery in 2010. Thanks to Project Flamingo, the waiting time for surgery is now at 2-4 weeks at Groote Schuur and we hope to see similar results at Tygerberg soon! We have expanded this idea to patients urgently requiring surgery at Groote Schuur Hospital for colorectal cancer as well. Pamper packs for all newly diagnosed breast cancer patients at the Groote Schuur & Tygerberg Hospitals Combined Breast Clinics. Every Wednesday a panel of expert clinicians, including surgeons, oncologists, pathologists and radiologists meet with approximately 40 newly diagnosed patients to discuss their diagnosis and treatment plan. This is a life-changing and traumatic afternoon for these women – and our pamper packs is an attempt to keep their feminine spirit alive. The idea of the Pamper pack has truly taken off – and has become a token of hope. The cost per pamper pack is approximately R80 and any product donations are welcomed. We hope that we will, by raising these funds, help to significantly reduce the tremendous pressure on the Groote Schuur & Tygerberg Breast and Oncology Units and that this will ultimately lead to improved patient care that incorporates a truly holistic approach to the disease. Because we see the bigger picture and deeply believe in inclusive health for all, we work closely with multiple other cancer organizations to achieve our goals.
