Hi all in Adelaide especially South of Adelaide my name is Belinda and I am a Triple Negative Cancer Survivor of 6 years onward ! I
work in Pharmacy so as soon as some-one mentions the words Cancer I am always keen to ask how they have been supported. I was quite shocked to discover that the lady I met last week said she had not heard of BCNA and had not had a visit in hospital by a Breast Care Nurse and had not received her My Journey Kit, or heard from a McGrath Nurse. So I immediately thought, wow, is that right. Back in 2013 when I went through my drama, I had the most amazing support in Launceston.
I later moved to Sydney and started a coffee and chat group of 4 clients from the Pharmacy I worked in, whom became great friends of mine, all are well as we speak after several years.
Curious to discover what support groups there are here South of Adelaide around O'Halloran Hill. I have plans in future to run my own support group again. Eventually trained by the Cancer council, however am well aware it is similar to running my own business and a nurse needs to be involved. That is in the future. I wish to begin motivational speaking regarding positive thinking, diverting the mind, and meditation, all the things I learnt over the year with Cancer. I have lots of ideas.....this is the beginning.
Let me know what is happening in Adelaide if you like....until it's time....stay as well as possible. xx
