THƯƠNG NGUYỄN SOBEY – Founder of BCNV (1982 – 2015)

Thuong Nguyen Sobey was diagnosed with stage-4 breast cancer only a few days after her engagement ceremony, a few months after her 30th birthday. Since there were no evident symptoms except for a slight swelling on Thuong’s forearm, it took her so much time to go to different hospitals and get an accurate diagnosis. The process of learning about her illness as well as its treatment made Thuong realize that the patients in particular, and Vietnamese women in general are seriously lacking in information about breast cancer. That was the reason urging Thuong to establish Breast Cancer Network Vietnam in 2013, with hope that this will be a place to provide trustworthy information and a safe sharing circle for women who are interested or battling with breast cancer.

NGUYỄN THỦY TIÊN – Co-founder & General Director of BCNV

As a family member, Thuy Tien went through waves of difficult experiences while supporting her sister Thuong Sobey’s journey with breast cancer in over 2 years—from the struggle during treatment to the eventual acceptance after Thuong passed away. Hence, Tien realizes the life values that breast cancer has brought to her family, to appreciate every single moment in life and understand deeply about the meaning of living. She has taken over her sister’s legacy BCNV, devotes all her time and effort in developing a series of awareness and patient support projects for the network. Tien wants to help many other women that are fighting with breast cancer, just like her sister before.
