Today I was an attendee at a BCNA Forum held in Ballarat for both Early Breast Cancer and Metastatic Breast Cancer. It was an extremely well run forum with opportunity for questions either of the presenters direct or through an open panel discussion towards the end.I urge all of you to consider a forum when there's one coming to a town near you. I live an hour away from this one so the discussion on local practitioners was not relevant to me personally however the problems faced and topics covered are relevant regardless of where I live.To @Marianne_BCNA and @Kirsten_BCNA - well done! BTW lunch was good as well asTake care

Oh and I forgot to say our star aka @SoldierCrab was mentioned for her great work and honesty in speaking out in a recent article, refer the post http://onlinenetwork.bcna.org.au/discussion/18209/lifting-the-doona#latest

I couldn’t agree more Iserbrown. I was also at the forum in Ballarat today and found the sessions informative, relevant and very empowering. Well done to all involve.

Hi @lrb_03, it is definitely Canberra's turn this year and we are having a forum there in October so watch this space :)

Great. I'll do whatever I have to in order to be there

Four hours drive to Canberra, but worth it. I will hope to be there too.

Hi @Marianne_BCNA, there is such fantastic feedback about every forum, I wonder whether there is anything planned for Brisbane/Gold Coast? Lots of ladies up here would love the opportunity to attend! Jane

Hi @Jude_M. There might be one in Geelong in July but no more in Ballarat.

lrb_03 we're just confirming the last few details for the forum and mini field and can then let you know. We're hoping it will be 17th October.

Fantastic @Marianne_BCNA. If it's a weekday, I'll need plenty of notice, so I can request an annual leave day, and make sure I have no other appointments. How long before do you usually advertise, and where?
