New to Gold Coast
Hi Ladies I have just moved to the Gold Coast with my family from Sydney. Can any of you recommend a good "fun" support group in the area where I might meet some new friends? I was diagnosed last June and have finished all treatment whoo hoo and want to get out there and live my new life. Thanks so much :)

I'm new! Hello!
Hi, I'm new to this group, although my cancer is two years old. I just had my reconstruction, and it's been a bit of a saga, with more to come. I was 44 when I was diagnosed, and it came with our family discovering the impact that our BRCA2 gene mutation would have on us all. My uncle died as a result of this cancer later…

Hi
Hi I'm Natalie, I'm 38 married with 3 kids. I just had a bad dream about my breast so I asked for a mamagram just to check, the mamagragm came up clear but an ultra sound said it all.

Change of place
We had the absolute best night in Hobart staying for one night at the Grand Chancellor, 20th floor, ocean view, and 20 degrees. I ate a 3 course meal and had 2 glasses of wine. (well I tried to eat all the food). I spent the whole time trying to forget I am in the middle of cancer. It worked. I found I hadnt missed wine…

Portal
For the first time, I had my overnight bag packed 2 nights ago, assuming it could be a trip to hospital. My Portal seemed to have moved and was causing a fair bit of discomfort. I put my hand on it and it felt like it was kinda sticking out a bit. I had done some stretches earlier, but nothing unusual. However, I took it…
