Calling all Melbournites

Hi Janey, I will be at Peter Mac on the 18th for an echo at 10 & then back there again on the 20th beginning at 8.30 for physio, then onc appointment, then Herceptin. Maybe we may see each other on one of those days..? I will be in Melbourne for all of January as I gave radiation so any day will suit me. Other than that all my treatment is usually on a Friday but am in Melbourne either Wednesday night. So glad you have suggested this too Janey. Hope you get over your cold soon too. Look after yourself & hopefully we can all catch up soon. xx

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. Hope you've got you popcicles :) and let us know how you get on. Hugs to you Love Janey xxx

Still love your photo :)

I have a bad chest cold which is not helping my ribs at all. That's why I'm suggesting we start in January. I don't want to risk giving this to any of you. I was also scheduled to have Herceptin at Peter Mac this Friday (and ongoing until May) but I'm postponing it to next week due to my cold. I don't want to take my germs into the CTU heaven forbid. If you let me know when you will be there next week, we could perhaps meet for coffee :) Cheers Janey xxx

There are five of us interested, including Ngaire (username Stemgirl) and I think that's nice to start with. Has anyone anywhere they know that you'd like to suggest? There is a cafe that's great for a lunch called 'The Vault' that's in the Batman's Hill Hotel (see the link http://www.batmanshill.com.au/facilities/restbars.cfm). It's not too big and the food's reasonably priced. You can have lunch, a drink and coffee all for under $20. It's also diagnally opposite Southern Cross Station so it's easy to get to. I've only been there a couple of times but it is pleasant. But I'm open for suggestions :) I think that December may be a no goer now because everyone will be busy with Christmas or getting well. So what do you think of January for a starter. What days suit everyone? I can do any day during January and we can discuss each month when we meet. How does this sound? Now most importantly, what do you think our name should be? I am really looking forward to getting this off the ground. Love Janey xxx

I start Chemo tomorrow. Freaking out at the moment but I will be ok when the morning comes. Anyway I am on the beach in Port Melbourne and happy to travel to meet ups or host them here. Thanks Janey for your energy with this. Julie

Hi Janey, I would love to join your group. Even though I don't live in melbourne I travel every 3 weeks for treatment (herceptin) & will be having my 5 weeks of radiation in Melbourne all at Peter Mac. I stay in Preston when I am down too. If your group gets off the ground count me in whenever I can join you will be there. I am down next Wednesday till Saturday. Would love to catch up if possible then. By the way how are your ribs going? Take care, Carolyn x

I live in St Kilda, & have been trying to find "Melbourne" groups on here, without much luck. The groups l've found are waaaaaaay out in the burbs ie. Frankston & that's a mission for me to get to! I'd love to catch up with people in the city or surrounding areas...sign me up :-)
