Hi, does anyone know of a support group on the Sunshine Coast (mooloolaba, maroochydore area) that meets regularly for coffee? I cant seem to find anything local other than specific groups aimed at "2nd time round" or "survivors". Apparently because I haven't finished treatment im not suited to these. Thanks in advance

    What a bummer. Are you on FB? You could try to start your own support group.

    You could contact Bloomhill cancer charity. They are based on sunshine coast and are cancer support services. I think they have groups but there is info on their website. I was looking into what they offer.

    Yep tried bloomhills but they dont offer or know of any support groups for those going through chemo for breast cancer. Apparently the issue is that patients may compare treatment and then if not same start questioning why. All support groups are focused on life after treatment etc which is great but i would have thought im not alone wanting to connect with others travelling the same path at roughly the same time. Given how crappy chemo & radiation makes us feel wouldnt it be worthwhile?
