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
