Hi

we at Tasmanian Breast Cancer Network are wondering if any ladies have been affected by the Tassie fires and could do with some help from us?

Let me know, we are thinking of everyone in the areas so badly damaged and those who are left with so little.

    I saw the conference and would love to come. I am working that weekend and I need to be careful not to overextend myself. I get tired easily ! I am very interested in the Sat prgoram so perhaps I could just come to that day. I would have to leave after the Mini Field.

    It looks fascinating and it would be great to meet some other ladies in the same boat.

    thanks

    Just looked it up - can't come as it's Launceston and work will keep me in Hobart. I wish you the best of success with it.

    But I know BCNA will hold something similar in Hobart in the future. Take special care, Mandy

    Sure Leonie, he always does a fabulous presentation. He comes to Tassie every year and helped set up the Lymphodema Centre in Tassie. He is pro-active in his talks and gets us all up to wriggle around, it is fun. XMandy
