We advertise all our get-togethers in both the Chat Room and on our FB page. Where are you staying while in Adelaide for treatment? At the Cancer Council Lodge -Greenhill/Flinders? Perhaps you could come to one of our get-togethers while you are in Adelaide?
Good luck with your radiotherapy, I hope they can schedule you in quickly to have it done xx Celeste
