We go by the concept “By Survivors for Survivors”. We want to encourage women to stand up in the fight against cancer by arming ourselves with the knowledge to prevent and find cancer early. We are survivors and know of the hardship faced by women in our journey with cancer We want to empower Malaysian women with cancer to support those who need help and to affirm that there is life despite a diagnosis of cancer
To unite women cancer survivors in the fight against cancer through P.I.N.K initiatives
For newly diagnosed survivors via Pink Unity members giving moral support and interact with experienced members who had gone through similar journeys.
For members via visits, phone calls and sharing sessions
People living with cancer often benefit from the practical help and advice they receive from others who have lived through similar situations. “Peer support” is a term that are referred to advice and help received from fellow patients or people without medical training. Peer support can help patients and survivors feel supported by a community
