- Mez_BCNACommunity ManagerHi @Fizzgigg, I know you have been provided with BCNA's service finder https://www.bcna.org.au/services-and-support-groups/services/31400# by member @iserbrown, where hopefully you can access support and resources in your area.
I also wanted to mention that Cancer Council NSW 13 11 20 offer 'Cancer Connect' which is a free and confidential telephone peer support service for people experiencing localised cancer (not advanced cancer). You can chat to a specially trained volunteer who has been through a similar diagnosis and experiences. The service is also available for those experiencing survivorship issues. They also may be able to connect you with a local support group.
Please do not hesitate to call our Member Support Services team on 1800 500 258, as we are always here to listen and support.Sign in to react to this post
