Whyalla Pink Spirits Breast Cancer Support Group
Our Group has been going strong since forming in early 2011. We are still meeting weekly, either for Afternoon Tea at the Sundowner Hotel/Motel or for a craft day at Spotlight. We alternate between the 2 venues. There is always a notice in the Community Diary section of the Whyalla News. (local paper) In April....weekend of 17th, 18th & 19th we are holding a very special Event......A "Health & Lymphoedema Awareness EXPO" which we are fortunate to have received a very generous grant from the Whyalla City Council to enable us to run this function. Professor Neil Piller, a Lymphologist, and a leader in his field, will be bringing a team of professionals to Whyalla, where they will conduct a presentation of the Friday evening, then workshops & screenings on Saturday and if necessary on the Sunday as well. This is a very exciting venture for us and we are thrilled to be hosting it for the benefit of people in Whyalla and surrounds. We thank BCNA for their support with this event also. Contact me (Rae) for more information.401Views1like23CommentsSutherland Lymphoedema Support Group

I have sought out and read lots of info before I had my mastectomy yesterday and begin the chemo journey in January. I have been through a whirlwind of emotions but found great comfort and advice here. So I’ve now joined what I feel is a friendly, open and honest group with a bit of humour too. This is one positive I can take into the new year to help me for sure.81Views0likes5CommentsGold Coast Support page and group
