Under the impetus of the Multidisciplinary Health Center les Sérénes, the “Pink October” operation, aimed at preventing breast and uterine cancers, is taking root at La Fouillade. Thus, Saturday October 14, the time of a day but not only, the room of heathers will become a crossroads of exchanges around these problems.
Thus, health professionals will find themselves on the front line to inform and dialogue through interactive workshops. With this in mind, the cancer screening center will offer interactive workshops (anatomical mat and self-examination bust), the League Against Cancer and the Aveyron screening committee will offer awareness workshops. It will also be a question of well-being in food, of “living as before” with presentations of post-operative material, medical follow-up on a background of screening.
In addition to this specific day, other actions are scheduled from the beginning of October. Since October 1, “La Fouillade en rose” has been seen with the decoration of the town hall in the colors of the action, but also of the shop windows. Pink is everywhere thanks, for example, to the collaboration with the residents of the Paginet nursing home who have prepared small boxes… Fundraising roses for the cause, placed on the counters of the shops. They have also made bookmarks, dream catchers, key rings, for medical research and on D-Day will carry out an awareness hike around Lake Soubayre.
