Shortly after the symbolic march, which took place on Saturday, September 16, an official meeting began at the Old Theatre. A lecture by psychiatrist Dr. Cezary Maciejak made the audience aware of the importance of knowing one’s own body and the role that activities supporting mental health play in the recovery process. The doctor spoke about the fine line between anxiety, fear of illness and depression.
A dietary workshop was conducted by Dr. Joanna Pieczyńska, an assistant professor at the Medical University of Wrocław, who provided workshop participants with important information about nutrition while recovering from oncological illness.
“People affected by cancer, their families, Club members from Bolesławiec County and invited guests from clubs across Lower Silesia appreciated this solemn yet substantive meeting,” county officials said. “For years, the Bolesławiec County Office has supported the activities of the unyielding Amazons.”
