Eleanor
Hi Eleanor - so sorry you have to join this club no one wants to join, but welcome to the GABBies bit of it. Our Facebook group is intentionally ‘secret’ which means that only members can see it exists. We do this to make it a safe space where we can be honest and perhaps share things that we don’t feel we want anyone else to know or think they might not ‘get’. I will PM you my FB details and we can get you connected. You’d be very welcome on 6th if you are feeling weel enough, or at any future date.
Quick BUMP for tayloe in case she has not seen my reply or got my PM
Hi I e been waiting for this reply, thank you. . Is PM personally messaWool pill I find that in my email or through this site?what does BUMP mean? I’ve seen lots of references to it but I’m not familiar with the term.
Apart from being very anxious and too well I’m feeling great. I haven’t had any treteeming yet. I do hope to make the lunch.
Eleanor
Hi, I think I’ve worked it out and now sent your friend request. Really look forward to meeting you and the others.
Eleanor
Hi Eleanor, well done for finding the private message (PM) - alas I’ve been here so long now I forget I ever didn’t know the jargon or my way round the site. BUMP stands for ‘bring up my post’ - or in plain language get it back on the first page of ‘latest posts’ or the top of the list in its own section.
Hope to see you online and in person and that all goes well with your upcoming surgery.

Hiya eleanor looking forward to meeting you xxx
Hi, would it be possible for me to join your facebook group as well please? I’ve recently been diagnosed, and asm off on Monday 1st for a lumpectomy. Would be really nice to be able to chat and meet up with people who are also going through this journey.
thanks
Louise
Hi Louise, I’m in the same boat as you with my op on the 1st as well. I’ve sent you a friend request visa messages.
Hi Louise, I will PM you my FB details and how to join us. We have quite a few new ladies, so hopefully you will feel wlecome and find support.
Hi RevCat
What a great sounding group you have going in Glasgow! I live in Edinburgh and wonder if you could put me in touch with the EdinburghBreast Buddies. I cant find any info on the web. Hope you can help as I could do with some support having just been diagnosed with a recurrence which has knocked me for six. Hope you canhelp.
All the very best.

Hi Cleokeyo,so sorry to read of your recurrence, that really sucks.
Good to see that Lulu has already replied - and will get you linked into the EBBies who are a brilliant gorup of ladies (some overlap with us). if you ever want to ‘go west’ you are very welcomes at GABBies lunches and/or our FB page too.
Hi I have just been diagnosed with BC and go for an MRI on Monday 8 Oct then surgery either 23 or 30 of this month. Would like to join the group if that would be possible as I am finding this difficult even though my family are very supportive and freinds have been as well but sometimes I feel it would be better to talk to others who are not related. I am trying not to let my amily see just how concerned I am as mum is not in the best of health herself and I don’t want to worry her to much
Hi Mapie, so sorry you’ve had to join this club. I will PM you my FB link and if you send me a friend request I can dd you to our group. We had a lovely lunch today attended by 20 people from newly diagnosed to five years NED and all points in between. Hope to ‘speak’ to you soon.
We are now primarily communicating on Facebook, so if you would like to join us please send me a private message, and I’ll tell you how to go about joining us. You cannot ‘find’ us on facebook, you have to ask us to add you; this is deliberate policy to keep us - and you - safe.
A little about us - we range in age from early 30s to (guessing!) 60s and from recently diagnosed through to five years NED and all stages in between. We meet typically every 8 weeks for a leisurely lunch in central Glasgow and chat about anything from holidays, relationships and families to treatment options, side effects and anxieties. It is a very positive group, united by a shared epxerience.
