We continued the 2026 cycle of our mobile program "Soul Sisters", which provides support to women diagnosed with breast cancer across Bulgaria.
Over the past few months, we visited Yambol, Pleven, Razgrad, and Razlog, where we met with 72 women living with breast cancer. During these meetings, we discussed various aspects of life with the diagnosis and presented informational videos with leading specialists in breast cancer treatment.
One of the highlights was a special psychological panel, where participants openly shared the fears, emotions, and thoughts that came with their initial diagnosis, and allowed themselves to look ahead by imagining and dreaming about their future. We also talked about how to process the emotions that arise during active treatment and during the return to normal life afterward, as well as how to better care for ourselves and take responsibility for our own health.
As at every "Soul Sisters" meeting, the women received informational materials, turbans, specialized bras, and the opportunity to request a primary breast prosthesis. They also had the chance to ask questions to the survivors and psychologists of One in 8, and received our care kits for women undergoing mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or experiencing lymphedema as a result of treatment.
The next stop of "Soul Sisters" and the One in 8 team is Panagyurishte.
Thank you for supporting our program and enabling us to continue to support women with breast cancer across the country.
