Young women & breast cancer
This group is for young women affected by breast cancer. In the context of breast cancer treatment, ‘young’ usually refers to women who are pre-menopausal. Here, you can connect with others who understand the unique challenges that come with a diagnosis at a younger age. We talk about things like fertility, pregnancy, early menopause, ovarian suppression, relationships, and the emotional impact of treatment and recovery. Whether you're newly diagnosed or further along in your journey, this is a safe space to ask questions, share experiences, and support one another. You are not alone during this uncertain and overwhelming time.Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC)
This group is for people diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), a subtype that affects around 15% of those with early breast cancer. While we share personal experiences, please remember that the information in this group is not medical advice—always speak with your healthcare team for guidance.Connecting rural, regional & remote areas
We understand that living outside major cities can bring unique challenges when it comes to accessing care, support, and information. From long travel distances to limited local services, these experiences can feel isolating—but you're not alone. This is a space to connect with others who truly understand what it’s like to face breast cancer while living regionally or remotely. Share stories, ask questions, and support one another through the frustrations and the wins - this group is here for you.Genetic mutations & breast cancer
This group supports people affected by genetic mutations—like BRCA1 and BRCA2—that increase the risk of breast cancer. Whether you carry a mutation yourself or someone in your family has been diagnosed, you're welcome to connect, share experiences, and find support from others navigating similar experiences.Choosing breast reconstruction
