    We  have decided to cancel this Saturday's (15/1/22) cuppa catch up at Camellia Gardens Caringbah  due to the high covid case numbers in the community and climbing rapidly as it seems to socially responsible thing to do, as much as we hate taking away the opportunity for ladies to meet on 3rd Sat of the month like usual.
    We will review it again next month.

    Likewise our planned monthly  face to face meeting ,1st wed of the month in Feb at Tradies Gymea  2/2/22- we will have to also replace it with a zoom meeting sorry.
    I know Zoom is not the same as face to face and not everyone can participate, but its all we can do to try and stay connected with other humans safely.

    Please feel free to chat in our private Facebook group page.

    Or support group is for anyone
    who has ever has a breast cancer diagnosis AND who also lives in the
    Sutherland Shire, St George and surrounding areas of Sydney Australia.

    I wish i had started this thread title to just say Sutherland Shire Breast Cancer Support Group.
    I have made a right mess of multiple threads all across this forum because i didn't understand how it worked back in the early days.Sorry. I wish i could combine it all into one thread. Sorry but I am unable to edit old stuff ,so i will post an update on this one.

     If a moderator sees this- if possible could you remove the 'meeting 4th March 2020' from the thread title?

    Update. May 2022
    We continued via zoom in lockdown and now back to meetings in
    person. Meeting at Tradies Gymea every 1st Wed of the month 7pm , except Jan and
    Camelia Gardens Caringbah 3rd sat of the month 9.45am , except
    Dec.Please see our facebook page for updates on meetings, guest speakers
    etc as things can often change.


    We also have a closed private facebook group for locals to the area who have had a BC diagnosis.

    You can delete these four old threads /topics that i started, if you want  to do some more tidy up. Carissa_BCNA
     
    They are out of date and not needed anymore.We combined the old St George Hospital BC support group with the newer Sutherland Shire BC SG back in 2017.So St George group no long exists. I  did get  the st george group  taken off the BCN Services page Support Group pages back then.Thank you.
