First Poster!!!
Hi all. Getting started on the online workshop. What a great way for community champions to brush up on their skills when communicating the work that BCNA does. For me BCNA differs from other organisations as it uses a woman's personal story to help link them together, educate and inform them on how they can manage with a…

Lin Riley claims she was pulled over for a Random Breath Test on Oxford Street in Sydney, when a police officer spotted a bulldog clip at the retractor on her seatbelt above her right shoulder, News Corp reports.

Introduction - saying hi :)

I've had 2 rounds of FEC with another 2 to go and then I'm onto D for 4 rounds. Then it's a bilateral mastectomy and then radiation, so an interesting…

Older posts first setting, admin
I was wondering if its possible to have an optional older posts first setting in our blogs. Yesterday I went to my blog and scrolled back to see what my first posts were like, since I recommended a new user to read them. It took me a good 5 mins of scrolling through over 80 posts to get there. A reverse order option would…

ATT ADMIN... RE IMPORTANT PRIVACY ISSUE
Hi not sure of the best way to contact admin so hoping this works. There is one thing that I hope you consider changing on this Website and that is 'privacy' or post visibility. This is a great site and an invaluable resource to those going through BC but as is right now one can only chose to make all posts public (as in…

An individual-not a statistic!
Just sharing my thoughts and experiences after a Stage 3 diagnosis, 3 years down the track. When I was first diagnosed and had my mastectomy, I was given (after asking my oncologist) some pretty scarey statistics. They were useful in helping me make decisions about treatment options and even an incentive to live well after…

New to this
I am booked for surgery on 31st for a lumpectomy + and have had calls from my two sisters who are nurses telling me I should be having a mastectomy instead. My surgeon went over everything carefully with me and told me all the pros and cons and I decided to go with the lumpectomy. She then said after I had considered all…

Featured Posts from Yesterday
Hi Everyone. I am new to posting although have been a reader for some months. I have found this forum to be helpful, interesting and sometimes downright scary and on a few (very few occasions) frustrated at trivial messages. I am living with secondary breast cancer (diagnosed in Jan this year in my spine from c1 to l1,…

If you've been here a while, we may know a bit about your diagnosis and your journey, but you are much more than your beast cancer. So, tell us a little about…

Three years ago when I first joined the online network,each couple of days,2 or 3 posts were chosen by the admininstrators to be featured.It was a big deal to have your post featured,and I'm…
