Breast Cancer, Childlessness and Us
This group has been formed to support the childless men and women by choice or by circumstance during treatment or after treatment.
As childless women, we are 1 in 8 women and incredibly, 1 in 8 women overall that will be diagnosed with breast cancer. 38% of the world's population happens to be childless.
Statistics aside, I wanted to form this group because of my own personal circumstance of going through treatment without the support of family and living in a fairly remote rural location in Central Queensland. Whilst I am a strong person it has been a sometimes tough road. Perhaps there are others out there in the same position as I am.
All are welcome to join! Thank you, Janet

We will have some decision making as we age (that I need to look into NOW) ..... so we'll be able to give each other tips along the way, too ;)Should we link this thread to the original one you put up? - Hi, Janet, as has been said above, thanks for forming this group, which I too, would like to join.
We have all come to this with our own unique set of circumstances. It will be good to have support from others who understand this side of it all - @Stork I will send you an invite!
