The Lodge  |
It is the hope and dream of Jacqueline Davis Founder and
current President of the First Nations Breast Cancer Society to have a breast
cancer lodge specifically for native women and their families to stay at while
receiving treatments in Vancouver, British Columbia. Hopefully the lodge
will have six single rooms and two doubles rooms so that the partner can
accompany the woman who will be getting treatments. It is the plan to have both
native and non-native Doctors and Registered nurse on duty at all times. There
will be native breast cancer survivors available if the woman wishes to speak to
one. It is the hope and dream of Jacqueline since she was
diagnosed with this devastating disease breast cancer in 1990. Jacqueline is a
breast cancer survivor of fifteen years. This goal of having a lodge is still
very fresh and obtainable for her to reach.
