Logan area
I was just wanfering if anyone is from the logan area of Brisbane and would like to meet up for coffee sometime. I cant find a support group anywhere near me and I am feeling rather alone on my cancer journey and would love to meet others who are in the same situation as me. I live at Underwood.

Hi Kathryne
Sorry to hear that there are no support groups near you in Logan. I live on the Northside of Brisbane in Rothwell and have joined up with a great group of ladies at Strathpine we meet every fortnight at the Pine Rivers Bowls club alternating morning and evening. It's a long way to come but if you had family or friends that way you could combine it! Have you checked with your breast care nurse about a local group there must be one out your way. There is also Choices at the Wesley Hospital which has lots of activities but again it's quite a long way.
I hope you can find a groups as i have found it invaluable and the ladies I have met are just so understanding.
Good luck in your quest

Hi Kathryne, did you findt the search page for BCNA member groups? It's here, if you want to take a look: http://www.bcna.org.au/membergroup/search. Just put your postcode in the postcode box, choose how far you're willing to travel, and then click search. Underneath the search boxes you'll see the results come up (you can switch to map view to see them as pins on a map by clicking on the 'map' tab).
I gave it a quick try using 4119 and 30km, and The Redlands Group looks like it might not be too far from you (but I don't know that area very well, so probably best not to take my advice without checking for yourself!
.Hope that helps.

Thank You Di
I was hoping to find one a little closer to home as I take endone and oxycontin for pain and cant drive at the moment. The group in the Redlands is about 40 minutes from me so it is a bit far. I will keep looking.

Yes, that sounds a little far to go. I think Wendy has been running the Redlands group for a while, so she might know if there's anyone near you. Her contact details are on the page link if you want to give her a call -- I'm sure she won't mind.

Kathryne, can you get into Brisbane? I would love to meet up with you but would never make it to Underwood. I have no sense of direction and get lost very easily. But I can get to the CEntral Train Station in the city with no problems. It is the changing trains and platforms I have trouble with
If you would like to meet up with me I am sure we could have a lovely time over a coffee. I might even be able to talk a couple of others from our group to come, too
regards,
Lynne

Great! Either venue (and yes it is the one off Logan Rd) but it all depends on Sarah and her work roster. We will keep you posted,

Hi guys, Katheryne and I live pretty close to each other, but I would love to join with you all for a cuppa as well - I live in Jimboomba and work on Ann Street in town. And yes, Ikea is the BEST place to shop - can't wait to get in there once we build our new house.....
Am off work this week coming - chemo on Monday - will be around on the coming weekend, but will make it any time that suits all. Katheryne, I'm happy to be the designated driver for you if you like!!
Take care ladies,
Maxie xx
