First Post

Hello Out There!  This is my first post as I am finding my way around this site.  I was diagnosed a week ago and am scheduled for surgery in a weeks' time.  I'm in Newcastle, NSW.  I just wanted to test the water of this site and see what happens.  Good luck to you all.

  • Hi Cynthia, you've probably worked it out by now but to add a contact .... eg Moira

    Click on her small photo next to the message she sent you (or the icon if there is no photo), that will bring up her details.

    Click on "add as a contact", the screen will change and you can send her a message too

    Click on "save" and job's done

    Cheers .... Shjirl

  • we all know what its like, especially at the beginning, but once we start on the road of treatments, you always feel at least you are on the way to better health, so don't listen to the 100's of horror stories you hear, everyone is different, and we all react different. so good luck and keep in touch.

  • Hi Moira1.  Thanks for your welcome and the info on the the Journey Kit (yes, I have registered for one) and you're right about brochure city!  When I find out how to add you to my contacts list I will do it.  I have been trying to work it out but no luck so far!  I am in reaaaasonably good spirits - but scared myself silly by reading some of the personal stories on this site!  I have a very small cancer so am grateful for that.  Cynthia
