NEW DAY TIME SECONDARY LIVE CHAT - 13/01/2010

Hi All

There is a new daytime live chat for women with secondary breast cancer starting on Wednesday 13th January 2010 at 1130-1230. We hope you can join and use this new service.

Breast Cancer Care’s Live Chat sessions take place weekly on our website. They offer a private space where you can talk to others in real time – getting instant responses to messages and talking about issues that are important to you. Each session is professionally facilitated and there’s also a specialist nurse on hand to answer questions and let everyone know about further sources of support. Live chat is easy to access; for full instructions and times of sessions are available follow this link:-

Hi,

Just wondering if anybody managed it today? Was at work, but did think i may be able to manage a few minutes in my lunch break, but i didnt.

I’ve only just remembered too late!!! I wanted to try it out because I fall asleep during the evening one

Me too Caroline! I won’t normally be able to make it as I have a pottery class till 11.45am but it was cancelled today due to the snow!

Hi all - I managed to get onto live chat, there was only about four of us on there, three most of the time! I really only logged on today because I had a question for the nurse, which was answered for me and made me feel a lot better! I’m not sure whether I’ll be logging onto this on a regular basis as I’m back working now and I think I’ll forget/be too busy.

Hope everyone’s doing ok

Hi

I didnt log on today as had ct scan, so had to leave home by 11.30 and not back til 1.15. I will try and get on this chat, but will probably only manage every 3 weeks after my herceptin day, as i am normally at a play place with my little boy.

Hopefully will catch up with some of you either tuesday night or on a wednesday.

Take care
Dawn

Live Chat has just opened, if you have a diagnoses of secondary breast cancer, please do join us.

Hi

I had a mastectomy in 2001, left breast and have recently been diagnosed with secondary breat cancer in my bones. Just started treatment–anti eostragon anf Zometa, feeling alone.

hi Mrs D,

There are a few of us here with bone mets and on hormone stuff and zometa so you are not alone! I’m currently on zoladex and arimidex and have been on zometa for almost 18 months to try to keep bone mets stable. Have a bit of a search on here for the bone mets/zometa threads.

Post anytime and there will be someone to help.

Good luck with the zometa. Liz
