RE-CONNECTING WITH OUR COMMUNITY

Cancer can be really lonely. And one of the reasons I’ve come to the forum today is to meet other people.

I’m really looking forward to that. – Jenny

W e have enjoyed being back on the road for our in-person Information Forums after years of COVID restrictions. From Ballarat to Launceston, we have been visiting communities to hear your stories and provide you with information and resources to help you at every stage of your breast cancer diagnosis. Our Information Forums have not only provided you with a chance to hear from and meet our speakers, they have also been a fantastic opportunity for you to meet other people going through a similar experience and connect with local community and support groups.

I was so inspired by the courage of women who have breast cancer and their determination to continue on. – Karen

For the last six months I’ve just been focused on chemotherapy and living my best life while I’ve had chemotherapy. But now the clouds are starting to lift and I’ve got to prepare for what’s ahead. I thought this would be a really good opportunity to get some advice and insights for the coming months. I haven’t met anyone else who’s in the same boat, so I thought it’d be great to meet some of the people who are living with cancer today. – Georgina
