Calling all Melbournites

I would love to meet face to face with those lovely Melbourne ladies I've 'chatted' to online. I love this site but meeting in person would be even better. I have been seeing some wonderful support groups for Pink Sisters in Perth, Adelaide, Tasmania, Queensland, NSW, and even the South East and Bayside group in Melbourne. I am from Northern Melbourne and I'd love to join the South East and Bayside ladies (sounds like you gals have fun) but unfortunately it's too far for me to travel. I have been thinking for some time now to form a support group for Melbourne women to perhaps meet once a month in the City area for a cuppa and a chat. I can travel in by train to Southern Cross Station and meet ladies wherever in the City. Would any Melbourne women be interested? If so, I'll start the group :) Hope to meet you one day. Love Janey xxx

    Hi Carolyn. Back from holiday and it was lovely, however back to the grind. It was so nice having no phone reception and especially no internet for the kids!! I'm finished all my chemo and although lymph node positive is was tiny and after consultation with radiation Onc we decided not to do radiation and keep that up my sleeve if I ever need it. I had my treatment at Epworth in Richmond who were fantastic. So now it's just tamoxifen (shouldn't say "just"). Are you having Herceptin there as well or switching to Shepp for that? Hope you are doing well. Lisa x

    I'm so so pleased about today. I was smiling all the way home. So next month. If everyone could give me an idea of there treatment days next month or when you can't make lunch I can start planning the next lunch at Pelligrini's. I think that's where we decided wasn't it? Can't wait really. I didn't want to leave today but continue chatting on with you all. Oh and don't forget about posting your stories on the 'introducing ourselves' blog on the main group page and eventually I'll stop using this personal blog. Here's the link. http://www.bcna.org.au/network/groups/70587/blog/70595. Cheers ladies Janey xxx

    Hi all, sounds like it was great, so I am even more annoyed that I missed it. I went out and bought Manuka honey instead. My cold and cough have been up and down all day along with my temperature, and I am sooooo sick of monitoring my health and worrying about it all the damn time. I would have loved some laughs / tears / companionship today. Hopefully next time.

    Thanks Bobbie, could you just hang onto the fan for me and perhaps if you remember, you could bring it to the next meeting. It really doesn't matter though as I have another one here at home. So don't stress if you forget. No need to send it in the post, probably would get wrecked anyway. I am glad you enjoyed today and I'm really happy that it went so well. You gals are all awesome! Good luck tomorrow and for the next few days of your treatment Bobbie. Please don't worry too much about Taxatere and what we were saying today. You might be like Carolyn and breeze through. Positive thoughts!!! Half way woohoo!!!!!! Love Janey xxx

    Hi everyone, I had a really lovely time at lunch today. Thank you so much for coming, Bobbie, Julie, Sara and Carolyn. It was so lovely to meet you all and as Bobbie said, put faces to names and voices to words. It's was so good to talk and laugh and even have a little cry and compare notes. Very cleansing. For Viv, Lisa, Pam and Dianne, we will hopefully meet the next time. Viv I hope you are feeling a bit better and your cold is subsiding. I am really looking forward to next time and I'll be in touch soon to organise when and where. Good luck with your various treatments ladies. Love Janey xxx
