Meg Rynderman volunteers her time as a consumer representative for the ACSC. She comes to the ACSC as a survivor of recurrent Hodgkin disease and hormone positive breast cancer. Treatment for her disease included radiotherapy, high dose chemotherapy, stem cell transplant and bilateral mastectomy & reconstruction. Meg also volunteers for Cancer Council Victoria's Cancer Connect program. Meg is a Governor of Bialik College in Hawthorn and has a background in family business. Amongst many other elements, Meg’s work with the ACSC includes a project writing survivor’s stories. The recounting of the cancer journeys of others offers support and hope to those that read them. In 2014 Meg was awarded the Minister for Health Volunteer Award for outstanding achievement & recognised with the Peter Mac Award for Community Contribution. Meg’s 20-year cancer journey has instilled in her a passion that other cancer survivors should be offered more appropriate support and follow-up care than she experienced in her early years and that cancer should no longer be seen as a one-off incident, but rather a whole-of-life health issue.
