Honouring Breast Cancer Awareness Month With Meaningful Conversations Over A Pink Afternoon Tea 

On October 2nd, AWDS members gathered at the elegant Rose Veranda at Shangri-La Singapore for a special event combining culinary artistry, meaningful conversations in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

We are delighted to have two of our members on the discussion panel- Dr Tan Yia Swam, breast surgeon and founder of Breast Friend Surgery and Wellness, and Dr Priyanka Rajendram, the clinical head of cancer prevention at Singapore Cancer Society. They presented healthcare expertise in care and prevention of breast cancer. Their insights were matched with advocacy experiences from celebrity pastry chef and CureCancer Ambassador Anna Polyviou and cancer survivor . The panel, through session moderator Ms Maddy Barber, explored thought provoking topics around women’s health advocacy, the emotional journey of cancer care, and the power of community support. 

Following the panel discussion, members were treated to a spectacular afternoon tea of delicious and elegant pastries- salmon tube, goat cheese tartlet, truffle donut and a stunning showstopper 1 meter Pavlova- that reflected Anna’s signature inventive style. 

The meaningful afternoon was a inspirational and a commitment to raising awareness for women’s health and cancer care.
