Booked a place on the Younger Women’s Together event in Leeds 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 before the event.
This thread is a chance for you to say hello and “meet” others attending the Younger Women Together. 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 all next week
Steph
I was just wondering if I need to book the car parking with the hotel before arrival
Many thanks
Hello, my name is Emma I’m 33. Just finished my chemo, mastectomy in a couple of weeks. After recently attending a ‘look good, feel better’ workshop (which was great if anyone is thinking of going to one!) and chatting with other ladies there I am looking forward to meeting some other ‘young’ ladies. I’m coming from near Scarborough.
Hi, I was diagnosed in January 2015, finished active treatment in August 2015. I’m 34. Currently on zoladex and exemestane. So I’m a little further on treatment wise. I’m travelling up from Manchester with a few other ladies and looking forward to meeting more! X
Hello, I’m Kelly 36, 2 sessions of chemo left to go, so halfway through treatment. Just starting to consider hormone therapy, one of my dr’s suggestions is zoladex & exemestane, so it would be good to talk to you Katie and anyone else on that combo. See you all soon. X
Hi there my name is Lucy. I live in Wakefield so it’s only a 10 mins trip for me on Friday! I was diagnosed last Sept and have had a mastectomy, chemo and radio and am now on hormone therapy treatments. Good news my hair is growing back thick and fast, bad news is I’m back to work in two weeks time! Looking forward to meeting you all.
Hi My name is Fleur, I finished my radiotherapy at the end of August after having a lumpectomy in June, I didn’t need to have chemo as I had the oncotype DX test and my score was low, I’m looking forward to meeting everyone and learning a bit more.
