Hi everyone
A few people on this site have mentioned being on Facebook. I myself am on there and am charting my “journey” through chemo very publicly in order to show people that a cancer diagnosis is not the end of the world and that you can remain positive throughout. I have had amazing support from all my friends on there, all of whom I do actually know but some I haven’t actually seen for many years. If anyone would like to add me as a friend so we can support eachother as its a bit more personal than it is here, please PM me and I will tell you how to find me

Hi, do many people use facebook as well as this site. I made a lot of friends on here three years ago when mum was diagnosed, who have been a wonderful support to be since my own diagnosis. I would be delighted to add anyone else who would like to become a facebook friend.
My facebook name is on my profile, feel free to add me.

Hi
I’m on FB too. You can find the details in my profile.
If you add me as a friend don’t forget to tell me that you are from the BCC forum so that I know not to ignore you!

I’m on FB too.
I culled most of my ‘friends’ after dx. One or two more have to go as I don’t feel comfy about them snooping and never commenting or chatting.
I rarely update about treatment, and last night I did, in fact it was more of a melt down and had the biggest tantrum. A genuine friend, that sadly lives 230 miles from me commented and we had a chat via my update, she has fb mobile, and my chat window and inbox were going potty with the ‘friends’ In the end I sent a pm to my friend and removed the update. Funny how friends want to chat when you’re upset or have had bad news - vultures!
I’ll add a link to me in my profile, add me if you fancy chatting to some dotty, grumpy cow :o)
I have FB & seemed to have quite alot of lovely friends until I was diagnosed humm ? alot of them dont seem to post or message anymore. there is a group of good friends that have stuck by me & been so supportive but I feel very detatched from there now. I wrote a couple of note when I was 1st diagnosed but the last one Im not sure if anyone noticed so I dont bother now, but none of them have cancer so its hard for them to understand what im going through apart from one lady who friended me as she was just diagnosed around the same time… think thats why when I come on my PC I come here

Why is this? I too have had this happen to me too. I haven’t got the plague after all…what is up with people? Are they scared of it? I too have FB friends but just lately none of them get in touch…oh well, at least we know who our friends are…hope u r OK mekalar, not long now till you get your freedom again. My breast is VERY sore underneath now, and it is broken and weeping. I am doing what they said by putting a clean handkerchief underneath, but wonder if I should contact BCN. chris xx
I’ve added a couple of you to FB, but some of you have your id’s set to private and I can see you. Feel free to add me.

Hi Folks,
I’m just about to put a link to ‘Ninja on FB’ to me profile. If you add me, please send a msg to say that you are on BCC as I ignore random requests from folk I don’t know.
Some of you that said that you have your FB details on your BCC profiles - I can’t see some of them them; others I can.
Just been confirming some new FB friends.
That’s really brightened my day up - thanks everyone!

Honeybee, can’t see your FB name on your profile.
Ninja, just requested you as a friend but it wouldn’t let me put a message on it so I couldn’t say I was from BCC
