Hi Caroline,

Have sent you a private message.

Hi Catriona,

Hope you are well. I have not been on site for so long, but now finished with hospital appointments and procedures (for a year anyway!) but note you are all communicating through Facebook. Would you mind adding me and letting me know what I have to do to access site?

Hi Rosemary, now that’s weird, I was only saying at the last lunch that we’d lost contact with you! I will PM you my Facebook details and if you send me a friend request I can add you to our FB group.

Hello,
I live in Glasgow and was diagnosed at the end of October. I’m having a mastectomy on 22nd Jan and will then have chemotherapy. It would be great to come to one of your lunches and join on Facebook too. Are you planning to meet for lunch soon?
Thanks
Lilx

Hi Lil, I will PM you the details of how to link with us on FB. Our next scheduled lunch is 2nd Feb at Soho on Miller St. Where are you having your surgery? I really hope all goes well for you.

Thanks

Hi Pammy, I will PM (private message) details of how to join on us Facebook, as we are a ‘secret’ group.

Thanks RevCat x

Just BUMPing this up for the benefit of any new ladies (or gents) in West Central Scotland.
We mostly communicate via a ‘Secret’ (invisible) Facebook group, and are beginning to work informally with a few BCNs and local cancer support networks to help people (especially those under 40 who can feel very isolated) contact us. Currently we have just over 60 women in our ‘gang’ ranging from newly dx to several years NED and have a small number of ladies with secondaries. Ages range from 20s to ‘stopped counting’. We chat online and some of us meet up fairly regularly for (very) informal lunches, others meet in twos and threes to support one another through treatment. About ten of our members are doing Glasgow Race for Life 2013. There is a wealth of local experience and wisdom, and we share laughter and tears along the way. We are not perfect, but most people who join find good support frompeople who ‘get’ their world.

If you think you would like to join us, please send me a PM and I will send you details. Please don’t take offence, but now the group is so big, we may ask you a few questions to help both you and us determine that we are the right group for you.

I’m in Lanarkshire and would love to join your group on Facebook and maybe meet some local ‘buddies’. Can you let me know where to find you.

Have sent you a PM Wee Pixie

Hi,
