Hello
everyone and welcome to our first Friday update for 2018.  Happy New Year!  Hoping you had an enjoyable Christmas and New
Year, spending time with loved ones, resting, relaxing and recuperating and
doing what you most enjoy over the summer holiday break.



The
online network had a busy month in December with 69 new members joining our
network and online discussions.  I have
listed the usernames below and extend a very warm welcome to all of you.  As many of you have already found, the forum
is a very supportive environment where you can ask any question and one of our
members will respond.  I wanted to extend
a huge thank you to all of our amazing community leaders within the online
network who ensure that new members are made to feel welcome and comfortable to
post whatever is on their mind.

FILM STARS DON’T DIE IN LIVERPOOL - Complimentary Film
Preview Tickets

Transmission
Films invite you to a special advance preview of FILM STARS DON’T DIE IN
LIVERPOOL at a cinema near you!  Based on
a true story, the film follows the playful but passionate relationship between
Turner (Jamie Bell) and the eccentric Academy Award®- winning actress Gloria
Grahame (Annette Bening) in 1978 Liverpool. What starts as a vibrant affair
between a legendary femme fatale and her young lover quickly grows into a
deeper relationship, with Turner being the person Gloria turns to for comfort
when she is diagnosed with breast cancer. Their passion and lust for life is
tested to the limits by events beyond their control.

FILM STARS DON’T DIE
IN LIVERPOOL is released nationally on March 1.

Online Q & A Session

We have noticed there has been quite a lot of talk
in the ‘Let’s talk about vaginas’ group about the real sense of grief and loss
over the impact of breast cancer on your sexuality and that there are also lots
of unanswered questions for you. We are interested in inviting a specialist to
have an online Q & A session with the group sometime in February and were
wondering if you would be interested in this? 
Let us know your thoughts and if there is enough interest we'll get onto
organising this asap!

BCNA Ambassador Stuart Diver.

We are very excited to tell you that Stuart Diver has come on board as a
BCNA Ambassador in 2018! Many people will remember Stuart as the Thredbo
Resort landslide survivor but what a lot of people don’t know is that Stuart
lost his second wife Rosanna to breast cancer. Stuart knows first-hand how
important it is to have support and information when a family is faced with a
traumatic event. This year Stuart will be talking at BCNA events and online
about how he has coped with traumatic events in his life to help others facing
a similar situation. We are very proud to have Stuart join our network and help
support Australians affected by breast cancer! 
See the link below.

    I’m also interested in finding out about any decisions regarding the Beacon. There seems to be a delay in responding to concerns regarding the name change. I am starting to lose faith in BCNA over this.

    @Giovanna_BCNA
     do you think we should put the information about the Movie on a new post titled FILM STARS DON’T DIE IN LIVERPOOL - Complimentary Film Preview Tickets 
    there just doesn't seem a lot of comments about it wondering who has actually realised this is happening?

    Hi @SoldierCrab
    Thanks !  For those of us who simply own an old desktop PC and a phone that is just a phone we know we are behind the times but we still live.
    It is probably only available to city folks anyway so no stress.
    Love your posts and responses, you give me hope and joy.
