How WCS-GC Started
Women’s Cancer Support – Gold Coast was founded in 2019 by Sandra Johnston, following her personal cancer journey after being diagnosed in 2017. Sandra felt isolated and had many unanswered questions. She wanted to:
- See real-life examples of post-surgery outcomes.
- Understand treatment costs and options.
- Learn from others’ experiences.
- Share the knowledge she gained through her involvement with organizations like GCPHN and BreastScreen.
