You have found your way to Breast Cancer Network Australia's (BCNA's) Online Network. This is a forum where you are not alone and can engage with generous members who provide meaningful support to each other. You can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with other members. Please explore our various Groups for members who are looking for greater peer-to-peer support.
The following links may also be helpful in getting you started:
If you would like to introduce yourself please read How do I post a new Discussion?
Newly diagnosed? Listen to BCNA's Upfront About Breast Cancer Just Diagnosed - What's Next? and What I Wish I Knew podcasts

When is your birthday? Head to this discussion thread if you would like to share your birthday (no need to include the year unless you want to). We love an online celebration and on the day you will receive a virtual birthday cake that we can all share!
Our long-time members (newbies too!) are a wealth of information regarding the useful discussion topics and information available through BCNA's Online Network, therefore please do not hesitate to post your questions.

A warm welcome to our newcomers
@Lucyp @AnnF @BecK @Taz78 @charlos @shettys @flick88 @KelRoc @cjoy @Denniann @kymbo @Chantall @Kylie73 @BeckyS @Regi @Kersti @SDB @Bookworm73 @dcs @lynv @DAG192 @TET @RenataW @rojo @katiew @Tulip7 @jo1 @gennybuchan @Georgie05 @LJC85 @gemora @kangarooezz @SusieSue @sdwyer @FG21 You have found a great resource for clear medical information and friendly support from others who have "been there done that".
Any question is legit on here, nothing is too small or too silly so if you cannot find a post in relation to your concern just add a new post and we will try to assist you.
There are several private groups which may be a good place to post if you feel your question is too personal and you don't want to be recognized by others outside the website - this site is open to viewing by anyone around the world, not necessarily just members.
Members have always found that they need to be their own advocate so do stand up for yourself.
All the best as you work through this challenge in your life - you will find that you are stronger and more brave than you ever imagined - and we are here for you.
