My Journey Symptom Tracker & APP
Since we launched the My Journey online tool in 2018, we’ve heard from many members who
have told us that a symptom tracker, as well as the ability to download the
resource as an app, would add real value to My Journey. We’re delighted
to announce that we’ve responded to your feedback, and have introduced to My
Journey both an in-built symptom tracker and downloadable
app.
To all our community members, I wanted to take this opportunity to let you all know that I will
be leaving BCNA in the next couple of weeks.
It has been an amazing 3 and half years and I thank you all for
allowing me to be part of such an amazing community and to share in your
experiences. Wishing you well, take
care of you, kind regards Giovanna.

That’s a bit of a surprise @Giovanna_BCNA, I wasn’t expecting that! 😮. I want to say a massive thank you for helping me when I called a year ago for help. You helped me on the phone with my issue, and also helped sign me up on this wonderful forum 😊. I wish you all the best in your next chapter, always accompanied by good health, happiness and love. You will be missed 🥂💖.7

@Giovanna_BCNA wishing you all the best for your next career move. Thank you for all you have done. I was so grateful to chat with you in December when admitted to hospital when things went a little pear shaped for me at the time.2

OH MY GOSH!! That's not what we wanted to read @Giovanna_BCNA!
A heartfelt THANK YOU for all the wonderful work you've put in with BCNA both out the front as Moderator and behind the scenes as a 'friend'.
You've checked up on a bunch of us (heaps of us, according to posts above) when we've been low or had bad news ..... and we thank you for that.
Your calming presence will be sadly missed.
Take care and all the best in your next choice of work xx

@jennyss I’ve always wondered why it’s still there 😆. I even thought only I can see it at one stage, cos I joined the forum exactly the day after it was posted. Looking at it again now, it brings back bittersweet memories, and actually has some good articles and motivational quotes 😁😊2
