Through the project leaders’ conference in Lillestrøm in December 2012, we were offered to be connected with the hospital in Arkhangelsk. They were said to be very professional, and eager to participate in these kinds of projects. We therefore asked that our application for continuation in Murmansk instead was turned into a fresh start in Arkhangelsk with the same activities as we had already implemented in Murmansk. The revised application, which is attached in this report, was accepted by the Ministry of Health and Care Services in June 2013.

Overcoming Breast Cancer
In 2012, we collaborated with the Russian organization Socium + to implement psychosocial activities for breast cancer patients in the Oncological Hospital in Murmansk – by model of activities within the Norwegian Cancer Society. We found the structure rather complicated, and wished we had collaborated directly with the hospital instead of through an organization. We thought it would have been good for both the economy and the sustainability of the project. In October 2012 we applied for a continuation of our project, as we felt we needed to do more to sustain the project. However, the climate for collaboration worsened as the year drew to a close.
