Hello All.
This is a shiny new thread for the shiny new forum which will take over where the old Glasgow/Ayrshire thread left off and hopefully better reflect the area we relate to and who and what we are! GABBies is the Facebook name for Glasgow & Ayrshire Breast Buddies
We are a very informal gathering of women of all ages and stages, from newly diagnosed to (currently) around three years post diagnosis, and we meet about every six weeks for lunch in Glasgow on a Saturday. Some of the ladies undergoing active treatment are looking at midweek meets too. Most of us are also on Facebook and we have a ‘secret group’ there which we use for conversations that perhaps are not appropriate on here becuase of their very personal nature.
We are good friends with the EBBies, Edinburgh Breast Buddies, who kind of cover Edinburgh and anyone East-ish Central Belt-ish. Search Results | Breast Cancer Now Some ladies link to both which enriches the mix.
New members always welcome.
Next Lunch Saturday 2nd June at Soho on Miller St, Glasgow 1:30.
Please comment or message me if you would like to come, or if you are interested in joining our FB group.
Hi ladies,
Hope everyone well. Sorry haven’t posted recently and also missed last lunch date as recovering from second part of reconstructive surgery. Have now moved through to Glasgow permanently and back online again, although not got round to signing up to Facebook yet! Not sure if I can make 2nd June yet as it is my birthday and I was hoping to arrange something with family, but I’ll keep in touch and look forward to seeing everyone again soon. Revcat, thank you for your last e-mail and hope you managed to get your hospital date arranged.

Wow Ray, well done for finding us on this redesigned site… VERY impressive.
Still on a waiting list for my symmetry stuff - list gets longer and longer and longer.
Really hope to see you soon. Take care.
Hi Ladies,
