Booked a place on the Younger Women Together event in Manchester but worried about going alone?
Every year we receive queries from women, including concerns about coming along to the event on their own. Feedback from previous events has said how helpful it was to talk on the Forums before.
This thread is a chance for you to say hello and “meet” others attending. I will check in regularly and if you have any questions do let me know and I will do my best to answer them.
Look forward to meeting you at the weekend.

Hi everyone, 

I’m Louise from Liverpool. Looking forward to meeting younger women going through this and women that understand what it’s like to (hopefully) still have most of your life still ahead of you. Diagnosed last December, had 3 ops, 5 months of chemo and awaiting radiotherapy and every time I’m at the hospital I’m surrounded by women older than my parents xx

Hi everyone,

Im becca, coming from wigan with a friend who i met who was also on the same journey as me. I was 24 when i was diagnosed on Oct 31st 2018 with er + BC. Had chemo then MX with full node clearence then radiotherapy. Currently on zoladex injection and examestame tablet. Finished my treatment end of august. Ive started a phased return back to work, and trying to get the old pre cancer becca back. Struggling abit to adjust to my new normal so hopefully this event will help me look to the future. Looking forward to meeting other girls near to my age who ‘get it’ as i was definately the youngest one in all the waiting rooms. Take care and see you all soon xx

Hi all, I’m Melanie. 

I’m travelling from Cardiff at the crack of dawn, 5:30am train ??. I think my train gets to Piccadilly at 9:15am. The next train would get me there for 10 I think which I thought wouldn’t give me enough time to find my way to the hotel. 

I’m super anxious about travelling a long way, my fatigue is pretty bad. I’ve been sleeping all day too trying to get rid of a migraine so I can’t sleep tonight now ?, I’m going to be a zombie tomorrow?‍♀️. 

Anyway I’m really looking forward to meeting you all there, this whole thing has been quite isolating.
