I just wanted to introduce myself.  My name is Karen, 55yrs old and I live in the Western Suburbs.  Fortunately I have finished treatment.  I was diagnosed with BC October 28th last year.  This year has definately been full on, with surgery, chemo and radiotherapy. All the aches and pains from treatment  I thought would be gone by now as it is has been nearly 4 months.  I am looking forward to going to the BCNA forum at the wine centre in November.   Karen x

    I Karen, I don't no if you got my message the first night I joined but I'll do it again.  My name is Jenny and I live at Dudley Park, I am also 55 and diagnosed with Lobular cancer in June this year.  I have had mastectomy, 5 rounds of chemo and start radio in December. I have taken time off work I have good days and not so good days as you would also. I would like to have some face to face contact as the support group I have been to has not worked out with times for chemo etc., I also found the women seem to be a long time down the track with their cancer which is great but not what I need at the minute. I have thought maybe picking a coffee shop (maybe O'Connell street) or my place and see who turns up. What do you think?  Looking forward to hearing from you.  My home no is 83441062. xxxJenny

    Hi Jenny and Karen

    I live in the Highgate area and am going to the forum in November.  I would love to make contact with Adelaide ladies - it's been a lonely process.  I was diagnosed in April 2010, had a mastectomy and chemo and am now waiting for my reconstruction to be finished next weekend.

    Helen.

    Hi Jenny and Karen

    Did the coffee get together ever happen? I would really like to get together with other B.C. ladies and meet for a chat  over coffee somewhere, I live in Ridgehaven N.E.suburbs and the city would be just fine for me. I finished my treatment December 24th 2010 so I am  61 yrs old and 1 year down the track from you, I had a lumpectomy of the right breast after diagnosis in July 2010.
