New Support Group for South Brisbane

I am looking for expressions of interest from ladies interested in joining a support goup in the Bulimba area of Brisbane.  My special interest is triple negative breast cancer, however I think a group is needed in this area that is open to anyone who has come into contact with breast cancer.  At the moment I am just thinking of a regular get together over a cuppa and a chance to chat about our experiences.  If you are interested can you please let me know?  I cannot register a group with BCNA until I can say where and when we will meet along with some other details, so before i do anything more I need to know if there are some ladies out there who might like to come along!

I have just had my last radiation treatment last night (yes Valentines day!) and I would really love to be able to talk to other ladies who have gone through something similar.  Hope to hear from you!  

Jenny.

    Hello Jenny,

    I was recently diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. I would like to join your support group. Only I may not be able to attend every session.

    Cheers,

    Natalie

    Hi Kate,

    You are the second lady to reply, so we are now a group of three!  I will wait a bit longer and see if we have any more takers, then I thought it might be nice to just get together over a coffee sometime.  I am at work at the moment, I will get back to you in the next few days and see what we can organise.  Thanks Kate!

    Hi Jenny, I live at Camp Hill and am interested in a support group. I was diagnosed in April last year and have been on the surgery/chemotherapy/ radiation roller coaster. I finished radiation in November last year and am now on Tamoxifen. I look forward to hearing from you! Kate

    Hi Sue!  Thanks so much for getting back to me.  Hopefully there are some other ladies out there interested too, and we can actually form a 'group', but even if it's just you and me I would love to get together sometime for coffee and a chat.  I imagine you are doing it pretty tough right now, in the middle of chemo, I have been there!  Let me know when you feel well enough to do something.  I will let you know how I go and if I get any other replies, but in the meantime am happy to chat with you.  Good luck with your new chemo, I hope it goes well for you. xx
