Hi Faye-interestingly, I was ready to actually attend my first BCNA forum at about the same stage of post diagnosis as you! Before that I received and contributed my stories and photos to the Beacon but I didn't want any more involvement than that. One day I said to my mum that I felt I really needed to chat to people who really understood what I had been going through. I cried my way through the forum ( I wasn't actually crying for any particular reason but I think I was overwhelmed by support and understanding!) and remember asking the BCNA staff if I would ever be able to come to one of these things without getting so emotional! Anyway, the next day I was agreeing to train as a community liaison with BCNA...an involvement that had never crossed my mind. Now I am 5 years since diagnosis and have an admiration for the girls at BCNA and it's members that is beyond belief! I Love my involvement with BCNA. It has enriched my life in so many ways. I hope we will meet at the conference. Xxx
