We speak to Iconic woman and radiation therapist Amber Summers about her passion for cancer care and Indigenous health.
In 2015, Amber's own mother was diagnosed with brain cancer, and underwent radiation therapy treatment at Amber's workplace at Icon Cancer Centre Toowoomba, giving Amber a whole new perspective on cancer care. Amber's mum sadly lost her life in 2017 and Amber is now a proud supporter of Cancer Council Relay for Life, which raises funds for people affected by cancer, and research and prevention programs.
Amber is passionate about Indigenous health and learning about the culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and is the Senior Reconciliation (RAP) Champion for Icon Group.
