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!

Thoughts are with you XXX
Hi Sue,
Go to another GP and ask to have BRAC 1 & 2 your immediate family all have BC and you have no time to waste.
You could be lucky and be able to stop worrying ordo something to save your life while you have the chance!
Did you see 60mins 3 sisters youngest left it too long thought had more time now???? Very ill.
I can't get tested as they don't believe I have enough immediate family effected. Two dead cousins and third got BC now???
Go girl....
don't wait...

But anyway hello and welcome!
Hi LeeS I want to know how to get tested, how much it will cost?
Hi Rubes, and welcome. I just wanted to give you the link to the Advanced Breast Cancer group that Louise mentioned. You can find it here: http://www.bcna.org.au/group/4218. It is a private group, so just click on the 'request membership' link on the left hand side of the page, and marls will approve your membership next time she's online.

Hi Rubes
There is a special group on here for ladies with Advanced Breast Cancer. You would probably be better asking your question there.....I am not sure of the link but hopefully someone can point you in the right direction. Good luck x
- Hello everyone, new to this blogging, I have had BC twice, 2000 & 2002. I now have Metastatic BC in my bones. Just wondering if anyone reading this is on Taxetere .

Hi there I found this link tonight (first treatment tomorrow) probably would've been nice to start a little earlier but better late than never.
I'm in Hobart, Tasmania and was looking and hoping for other ladies that might be around me in a similar situation, or even maybe finished theirs (be nice when that day is close for me) although this is one of the good things about the online world doesn't really matter where anyone is does it?
LikeI said my first treatment is tomorrow - I'm having 4 chemo treatments then radiation after that - I've done a little wig window shopping but not purchased one yet, I'll go again next week for that although it seems a lot of ladies don't go with the wigs just choose the scarves, better go get some of these too just in case :)
Really look forward to chatting with anyone who feels like it
Good luck, big hugs and smiles to everyone that reads this :)
