In this inspiring session, Prof. Carol-Ann Benn invites us to see cancer not as a life sentence but as a story of science, strength, and survival. The talk explores how our bodies constantly renew and repair themselves, and how countless potential threats are quietly defeated by our cells every day. By understanding what happens when a single cell goes wrong, we gain insight into both the fragility and power of life itself. Prof. Benn highlights how early detection, informed choices, and compassionate care can transform outcomes and foster hope.
Prof. Benn heads up the specialised Breast Units at Milpark and Brenthurst hospitals and is the founder of the internationally accredited Netcare Breast Care Centre of Excellence.
Joining her is Louise Turner, Chief Operations Officer at Breast Health Foundation (BHF) and cancer survivor who will contribute to the discussion as a strong advocate for cancer prevention and treatment.
