Hi all!

Happy Wednesday to you all, and here's the Get Connected Day post.

The purpose of the Get Connected post, is to provide a place where you can introduce yourself if you'd like to widen your connections.

What to do...

Comment to this post (use the comment form at the bottom of the page) with a short note about yourself and who you're looking to connect to.  Easy!

If you see someone with experience similar to yours, who you'd like to connect to, then just click their username (in their post) and you will end up on their profile page.  Then all you need to do is look on the left side of the page under their picture and you'll see an "add contact" link and follow the prompts.

Why connect to others?

One of the good things about connecting to others, is that all of their blog posts will show up on your homepage in a reading list.  So if you haven't visited the site in a few days, you'll still see what everyone is up to!

Important note

Remember to check your own privacy settings on your "edit" page. There's no need to reveal anything personal or private, but if you want others to connect to you, you should make some of your My Profile settings "public" so others can find out a bit about you (eg. 'my story', 'about' me' and 'breast cancer experience'). 

If you're not sure what to do, you might like to read this post on how to change your privacy settings

Have fun!

Di

    Hi, I finished chemo just over 12 months ago and eventually my hair grew back a slightly different colour (darker) and ferociously curly! (It was straight before and lighter in colour). I love the curls (hey, ya gotta get something good out of chemo!!) but they appear to be 'growing out' now....? (I look like I have a perm that is growing out! lol!)  I love the curls so much that I'm too scared to get my first hair cut post-chemo cos I have the feeling once my hair is cut, that'll be it!...no more beautiful curls! I haved used (and still use) organic products on my hair and it is so lovely and soft and healthy.....just like a baby's hair! I'm avoiding getting it cut (or even trimmed...lol!). Has anyone had the same experience?..'.temporary' curls after chemo?
