Community highlights
Every week we have so much variety in the posts being shared on the online network. These can include questions about treatments, updates on how things are going, and celebrating milestones. Here are some good conversations you might have missed:- @Coco65 has been recently diagnosed and is in shock
- How do you deal with constipation as a side effect?
- And then there's grumpiness
Notifications in Groups are limited so don't forget to check them. And this week, we created a group for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. This group is one of the outcomes from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Think Tank at this year's Summit. BCNA is committed to working with community health organisations to improve outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people affected by breast cancer.
