We are a group of ladies that have all had breast cancer in some form or another; we all live in or around Orange NSW; we get together every 2 weeks at a local coffee shop to exchange our news, stories and laughs and most of all enjoy each other's company.
If you are newly diagnosed, enjoy coffee or good company why not come along and say 'hi', we would love to meet you.

  • @Sheran, it sounds like you have a great support network in Orange, so great for women who don't have family & friends nearby.


    @Hulos, I would be happy to meet up, we can wait & see if other ladies would like to!
  • Hello again Hulos, where in inner Sydney are you? I used to live in Baulkham Hills then Penrith, then we moved to St Mary's.
    What type of cancer do you have?
    Great news that you have almost finished chemo, I had a bilateral mastectomy 18months ago now and I found it much easier to deal with, I don't worry if the cancer will come back in my breasts now.
  • Hi, im quite happy to join a group  within Sydney. I don't work and can drive for now as my op will be after all the chemo is done, 5 weeks to go if all goes well.
    If there are more ladies close to inner  west Sydney , maybe we can start our own gruop and chat...:):)

  • Thanks so much Glemmis and Hulos, perhaps you should get together and start your own group.
    We have a McGrath Foundation breast care nurse for our local hospital and she runs a monthly information group, this group goes for a couple of hours of an evening but it doesn't give us a chance to chat to each other very much. So some of us got together to start our own group.
    We found there just isn't enough support after business hours as most support networks are run by volunteers; we found weekends and early hours of the morning when you can't sleep are the toughest.
    Good luck to you ladies, take care and keep well
  • Sounds lovely Sheran, I would love to join you too but like @Hulos I live in inner west Sydney, we might have to start our own!
  • Hi Sheran,
    What a wonderful thing to do, i wish I was close enough to join you ladies. I am in Sydney inner west,  a little too far to drive to, otherwise I would definitely have joined you.
    Enjoy, and hugs to all...xxxx
