Hello all the new people
I keep watch to see how the numbers are slowly growing and recall there were 17 when I first began here. I cant express enough how important it has been for me to reach out and meet people going through the same things, face to face. I love the Northern Cancer Support Centre, the staff and the warm environment that gives you all the understanding you are looking for.
I loved the "Coffee and Chat" get togethers and have made wonderful new life long friends from those Wednesday morning cups of tea. I did the Pink Pilates course there, which was an awesome way to manage emotional stress, and I sat with Counsellors on several occasions to cry and chat about the sticky subjects. That made a massive difference.
I have registered for the Relay for Life week end which is $20 and you get a top to wear, the relay is on March 29th. I am only walking an average of a half hour each walk at the moment, so I wont be running!
I work at Legana Pharmacy and my employer is more than happy to allow me to spend the time with any one who comes in to see me regarding Breast Cancer. It is a friendly workplace
Dont be shy, its not a sign of weakness to reach out and share.
