Winning the booby prize!
Hi lovelies,
I have started a new facebook group. I've been tossing this idea round for a while and finally sat down to do it. As there was a bit of a discussion the other day about the word "Journey" and some more comical names thrown around, one being the "my Journey kit" should be renamed the booby prize, that's what I decided to call it "Breast cancer...winning the booby prize".
I thought it might be a bit of a fun way for everyone to share some of the more light hearted stuff and good times that happened along their treatment road.
Kind of a bit of inspiration to those just newly diagnosed suffering that awful fear of the unknown that life goes ahead and you can still have a lot of good times along the way. I put a little video I made on there to kick things off. I made this two days before radiation finished. I was just sitting there thinking about everything that had been happening while I was sorting out some photos and I thought wow, all this happened between 3 days after my diagnosis and the end of radiation.
It is a secret group so that if anyone searches they cannot see who is a member until they join. I have allowed members to approve other members so nobody is sitting around waiting for approval. Just search on facebook for the name and hopefully i've done it right and you can find it.
I would be delighted if any of you would like to join or if you think the idea sucks let me know how to improve it. I am not real techie so hopefully it works ok.

- only yesterday i was wondering if everyone would find it weird if I started a 'positives' of breast cancer category and you have! Thank you - I think it's a great idea. Admittedly, the thing that made me wonder about the positives is that my pubes have started falling out but hey, small wins are still wins! :smiley:
- Thank you toe everybody that has joined my new little group. 27 Members already. YAY!
- Just asked to join! Sounds good x
- Bhah @Joannie
you funny lady ;) - It should be fixed. I have just had a member request that has gone through ok.
- you add them yourself... so you need to be friends with them.
- OK try now. I've had to change it to a closed group instead. Apparently if it is a secret group only members can find it......how do you get members if no one can find it?
