Hiya I was diagnosed 6 weeks ago and find all of this really overwhelming at times. I have supportive friends and family but its not the same as someone who knows what you’re going through! i was wondering if there is anyone out there in the same area. The support groups seem to have lots of much older ladies in them. I’m 40.
Hi Julie,
I’m being treated in Windsor, diagnosed 5 months ago - 42 a few weeks ago with 2 young children.
Am I anywhere near you?
J
Sorry do not live in berkshire - but just wanted to reply to your post. I totaly understand where you are coming from - I am only 40 with two young children 3 and 5. I was only diagnosed this week.
Hi Julie

Hi Julie8,
I am sorry you have had to find this site, but I am sure you will get all the support and advice you need.
I live in Swindon, Wilts and there is a support group which meets once a month at the local hospital. Ask your bcn if there is such a group in your area. If you wish to travel down the M4 you would be made very welcome. PM me if you are interested.
Take care & best wishes

Hi… I was 40 when diagnosed in 2005. I live near Wallingford (Oxon), but work in Theale, so quite close.
If I can help in any way just ask. Would be happy to meet up one lunch time if you just wanted to chat.
I was treated at the Dunedin (BUPA hospital) in Reading, and had most of my treatment there. Many of
the consultants also work for the Royal Berks, so we may well share consultants.
Thankyou for your comments, I guess we all feel somewhat alone in this. Jools let me know more details about your support group in Basingstoke. Angilbert, I used to live in Wallingford, and also work in Theale!!! I had my op at the Dunedin too and I am under Dr Barrett. Would love to meet over a lunchtime. I,m off work until my radiotherapy has finished.
Jan thanks for your posting, Swindon is a little far and I may try one nearer to home first. Thankyou so much for your kind offer!
Love Julie
Hiya Angilbert, I could do tomorrow! I work at the medical centre on Englefield rd. I know the Fox and Hounds and could meet you 12.30ish. What do you think?
love julie
See you then! I’ll send messages via the private message system!
