I joined the Perth/WA Womens Group in June and have now attended 2 meetings.
I am grateful to have met such a caring group of like-minded ladies, at all different stages of the BC journey. It has been wonderful for me and just what I needed, as I am in the middle of my active treatments, having been diagnosed with a 5cm x 4.5cm Invasive Ductal Carcinoma in January 2015, chemo treatment Feb-May, then mastectomy & axillary dissection 2 weeks ago.
What a group of lovely, lovely ladies, happy to answer any questions from us newbies and also going to the trouble to have guest speakers attend to give us more information to help.
I'm so glad I attended the July meeting, as I was just out of surgery and having pains in my arm, and the ladies mentioned cording, which gave me more awareness to seek help early. I have ended up with cording and now having physio treatment. Plus I was able to loan a book from the book library, which has helped me to prepare for radiation.
I look forward to baking a delicious cake and pinking it up, for our next get together.
