Very sad to see Solaris have to close two centres in WA. They have supported 1000s to live well with cancer over 22 yrs. Recurrent funding is needed sustain these community based initiatives. Judith Lacey Geraldine McDonald CancerCouncilOz Cancer Australia thewest.com.au/news/wa/solari…

Dr Suzanne Grant Geraldine McDonald CancerCouncilOz Cancer Australia It takes a lot of work, wisdom, courage ,tenacity,care to move the field of #integrativeoncology and #survivorship forward. Solaris did this for #cancer patients. Sad to see the sluggish response of health funding impacting significantly on lives of those affected by cancer
