Welcome new members and happy easter to all.

Does anyone else look at the numbers every week to see if there are less each time? What was it 37 the week before? That was just awful and while 23 new ones is awful too at least its a lot less who have breast cancer. I live to see that number drop away every week and one day breast cancer could become a thing of the past.

Yes these two are wonderful ladies.

Hi Brenda, 

I am never happy about seeing these numbers especially when our new members write their first post saying they have just been diagnosed. I am happy however that they found the online network and joined. The numbers that I share with you for new members each week also include family and friends. 

I wish that we could reach more people out in the community that could benefit by having access to the online network and the support from all of you. I am so happy we are doing more work in this space this year. 

You are just wonderful with the support you show to everyone. Thank you so much.

Happy Easter to you and your family x
