New secondary breast cancer group in Edinburgh

Would you like to meet other people in a similar position in a relaxed, friendly environment? If this sounds like you, we’d like to invite you to a new group recently set up in Edinburgh which offers support and provides an opportunity for you to talk about your feelings and concerns with other people facing similar issues. It welcomes new members and offers a confidential space, away from friends and family, where you can talk openly about what’s important to you and gain information about Living with Secondary Breast Cancer.

The group plans to meet the 1st Monday of every month 6pm-8pm at The Macmillan Information & Support Centre, Western General Hospital, Edinburgh and is open to anyone with secondary breast cancer. To find out more please call Breast Cancer Care on 0845 077 1893 or email <script type=“text/javascript”>eval(unescape(‘%64%6f%63%75%6d%65%6e%74%2e%77%72%69%74%65%28%27%3c%61%20%68%72%65%66%3d%22%6d%61%69%6c%74%6f%3a%73%65%63%6f%6e%64%61%72%79%73%65%72%76%69%63%65%73%40%62%72%65%61%73%74%63%61%6e%63%65%72%63%61%72%65%2e%6f%72%67%2e%75%6b%22%3e%73%65%63%6f%6e%64%61%72%79%73%65%72%76%69%63%65%73%40%62%72%65%61%73%74%63%61%6e%63%65%72%63%61%72%65%2e%6f%72%67%2e%75%6b%3c%2f%61%3e%27%29%3b’))</script>

I hope to come along to this meeting on 5th September. But I am waiting for an operation relating to my secondary bone cancer. I hope people in a similar position hear about this new group. I had heard about it from a fellow BCC poster on here and then my Breast Care Nurse gave me the time and place. I wonder how many BC ladies will come along? Val

Hello Val,

Thank you for your post. The group has just been set up and we are hoping for a good response. If you know anyone else that would like to attend then please spread the word. Thanks

Carol, Specialist Services Team

I will not be able to attend this meeting now as I will be having surgery on Monday. But I do want to let you know I am still interested in joining the group so hope to get along to the next one. Val
