Support Groups - Adelaide

Thankyou Celeste, it is good to know there is a place to connect with others. The face to face groups sound good, but as we are at the start of our journey we will weigh up what we can and cant manage at present. Certainly the October meeting sounds more realistic. I will be intouch Thanks Sean

Hello Sean, I'm very sorry to hear about Shelagh's bc diagnosis. It is certainly a shock and a very difficult time indeed. Being in a new country wth little support must also be very challenging :(

I live in Adelaide and facililtate a group called the Adelaide Breast Cancer Friendship Group. The group is for women whose lives have been affected by breast cancer and also their loved ones, family and friends. We have a Facebook Page to advertise our face-to-face events that are held fortnightly, as well as advertising our events via this site. We also have a Chat Room on Facebook, however this Chat Room is a private and secure chat room only for women who have been diagnosed with BC (no family members or friends, sorry).

Our fortnightly face-to-face get-togethers are held all over metropolitan Adelaide, and we meet for lunch and dinner. Our next get-together for dinner will be on Friday, 19th September at 7pm at the Seaton Hotel which is in the western suburbs of Adelaide. We are also heading down south (Morphett Vale) on 17th October for dinner. If you and your wife are interested, please feel free to email me at c-bug@live.com.au and I can send you a copy of our Schedule of Events.
Our Facebook Page is located at https://www.facebook.com/AdelaideBreastCancerFriendshipGroup

and our Chat Room for Shelagh is located at:

Thanks Diane, i will take anything that makes life simpler! Had managed to follow Robyn directions and posted already, so full steam ahead! Thanks again Sean

Hi Sean, I'm just jumping in to give you a link to the online group that Robyn suggested. I know there's an active face-to-face group in Adelaide that you could connect with. The facilitator is Celeste and I know she would be really wanting to connect and help you and your partner Shelagh through this very difficult time - http://www.bcna.org.au/group/9280

 

Hi Robyn Thanks for the thoughtful words and i will certainly chase those links up. Appreciate the help Sean
