Get Connected Day!
This is the Get Connected post, which is a place where you can introduce yourself if you'd like to widen your connections.
What to do...
Comment to this post (use the comment form at the bottom of the page) with a short note about yourself and who you're looking to connect to. Easy!
If you see someone with experience similar to yours, who you'd like to connect to, then just click their username (in their post) and you will end up on their profile page. Then all you need to do is look on the left side of the page under their picture and you'll see an "add contact" link and follow the prompts.
Why connect to others?
One of the good things about connecting to others, is that all of their blog posts will show up on your homepage in a reading list. So if you haven't visited the site in a few days, you'll still see what everyone is up to!
Important note
Remember to check your own privacy settings on your "edit" page. There's no need to reveal anything personal or private, but if you want others to connect to you, you should make some of your My Profile settings "public" so others can find out a bit about you (eg. 'my story', 'about' me' and 'breast cancer experience').
If you're not sure what to do, you might like to read this post on how to change your privacy settings.
Have fun!

Hi there Maryn, yes you are on the board .... feel free to browse through the pages ..... introduce yourself and write something in "Your Blog" and we will all see it.
We are a bit like (actually we are not a bit like .... we ARE ) your new extended family so if you want to ask questions, have a rant, share news etc etc feel free to do so.
Welcome .....

Thanks for the lovely welcome Kaz......I feel like I have found a whole new group of friends who understand what I am going through by writing in this forum :) I may not have anyone who I can talk to face to face around here but it is great to write your feelings down anyway! I am also very lucky to have some wonderful friends and family members to help me.
Hope to chat to you all again sometime really soon

Hi Shirl
Yes, I can definitely say that I have well and truly been through the mill! Hopefully things will settle down soon and I will know what I'm doing....I feel a little lost at the moment :(
I live in Hillarys (northern suburbs of Perth).
I am trying to make more time for me....not always easy though and I do tend to put everyone else first :)
Keep your fingers crossed for me for the oncologist's visit the afternoon and a good result on the MRI tomorrow :)
Cheers,
Louise
Hi there Louise, you've definately been on the medical merry-go-round haven't you. I hope as your results come in they give you the answers to your many questions.
I"m sure it seems like one step forward and two backward at the moment. You are fortunate that you have a great network of friends and family you can rely on.
Whereabouts in WA are you .... Perth or elsewhere?
Your business obviously keeps you busy, but don't forget to make room for yourself ..... in the overall scheme of things YOU are the important one.
Take care .... Shirl
