Hello all,
Happy to go to any of Jacqui’s suggested locations. M&S Hedge End is easy for me, and has the benefit for all of being just off the motorway.
Friday coffee, tea or lunch seems easy. I can do evenings too, but mindful for anyone working or with children it might put a bit much on the day.
Over to Jacqui to suggest next meet…
thanks, Sarah.
Hi, yes, count me in as well! I don’t mind which venue as I’ll have to drive a distance anyway but would prefer daytime as my evenings are precious 
Maybe a Friday afternoon if that suits anyone working? It may also be best to confirm initially by PM to everyone as this is an open forum and there are some wierd people out there who read these posts (as I’ve seen in the past).

Hi, I could do a Friday afternoon, I finish work at 2pm I and would love to be accommodated x.
Friday is good for me as I am a lady of leisure, not through choice though! Even though I can’t drive any more due to brain mets I do have my bus pass! Yippee! Can probably get to Winchester if that is suitable for everyone but if M&S at H/E is a goer then that would be great as I can walk there.
Have enjoyed meeting Jacqui and it is great being able to talk to someone who understands your feelings. Hope we can arrange a meeting soon.

Hi there ladies
I think that Friday PM at the M&S in Hedgeend looks possible for most so I am suggesting the following date
Friday the 26/4/13 from 2.30pm until we want to go. i know it seems a long time ahead but this gives time to plan also more selfishly I seem to be booked up with hospital appointments an a bit of extra work (an act of madness I know). Time will fly.
If this is tricky for some perhaps we could consider meeeting at a different venue/ day next time. Thoughts welcome.
Hope to see as many as possible
Cheers for now Jacqui
Hi Jacqui and ladies, the date is in my diary and I’m very excited to meet you all. Happy Easter to all love Kirstie xx
Hi ladies
I hope to join you as well but will have an oncology appointment at some time that day so can’t guarantee it at the moment. Can someone PM me the postcode as I have no idea where to go

Hello Nicky and Kirsti,
so pleased that you can make this date Kirsti. Nicky I hope you are able to. I will PM postcode and some directions - it is really eay to find.
Nicky it sounds like you are a bit of a distance so might I make a suggestion - to ensure that one person is not constantly having to do the mileage or miss due to hospital days … would you like to chose the venue for our next meet-up. I am confident that there will be more. Also a date - maybe a month after this one? We can take turns. - Does this make sense - I sometimes doubt my brain function at the moment!!!
As Liz has said it is great chatting to someone in a relaxed way knowing they understand where you are coming from.
Hope to meet more of you. Remember if you cannot do this time watch this space.
Cheerio Jacquix
Hello ladies - date in diary and I will try my hardest to come too on the 26th. I would love to meet you. I am going down to 4 days working from end of the month so Friday afternoons will be a good bet going forward. take care x
Hi thanks for the PM Jacqui.
I really don’t mind travelling to any venue south of me, I’m at the top of Hampshire by the way. Am very used to going to Southampton, Winchester and Portsmouth so, as I’m probably furthest away, it is easier for me to do the travelling. It’s a nice drive out anyway
Hope to be there on 26th but if I’m not I will wait to hear of the next venue/date.

Dear ladies, i’m in salisbury and am not sure that i wd be able to get to hedge end that afternoon as partner will have car at work but i hope you all have a great time and gain a lot from one another.
I will be posting on various threads about some upcoming news re my treatment:
I am starting perjeta alongside herceptin and taxol next week. Other than those women on trials i have been told that i am only the 2nd person in the uk to get this - funded by the cancer drugs fund. My onc told me that the other woman is from Winchester - pls, pls, pls if anyone comes across the ‘lucky’ no. 1 pls can they highlight my profile to that person as i wd love to get in touch.
All the best everyone , x
I have the 26th in my diary too, looking forward to meeting you all.
Alize, if you can get to Southampton Airport Parkway station, I could pick you up from there…?
Sarah.x
Hi girls,

Hi there ladies
thank you for your enthusiasm. I look forward to meeeting you all. Getting rather excited.
if anyone would like to be picked up from Winchester I can do that. Let me know.
Take care Jacquix
Hi ladies
Looking forward to our meet up on Friday at 2.30pm. Jacqui and I usually meet at the entrance of the cafe in M&S on the ground floor.
See you there.
Liz x
Hiya, I will be there as soon after 2.30 as possible, so don’t wait for mr, go on in, if you see a woman with a bewildered look on her face it will be me. Really excited, Kirstie xx
Hi ladies, im off down to cornwall that fri afternoon, feeling better than expected after first cycle of taxotere/herceptinand perjeta.
Hope you all have great afternoon
Alize
Hi ladies, still hoping to join you on Friday but have onc appointment in the morning, with results from CT scan, yikes. Depending on those OH and I may chose to spend the afternoon together, either if they are good or bad. I’ll try and post to say if I’m coming or not so you all know how many we’ll be. However if I can’t make it I am keen to meet up for the next one and will fit in with place and time.
Nicky x
Fingers crossed for you on Friday love Kirstie xx
