Younger Women’s Forum in Reading

We still have places available on the Younger Women’s forum in Reading on the 10th and 11th October.

If you are aged between 20 and 45 and have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer, this two-day residential programme offers the opportunity to learn more about breast cancer and to meet young women in a similar situation.

It’s a chance to meet others of a similar age and share experiences in a relaxed environment and meet your local Breast Cancer Care team.
There will be a range of guest speakers on topics such as fertility after treatment, sexuality and intimacy, lymphoedema, diet and exercise as well as pampering, well-being sessions and discussion groups.

All costs of accommodation and meals are met by Breast Cancer Care. This event is open to anyone with breast cancer aged 45 or under living in the UK. If you would like more information please call either 0845 0771895 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%72%63%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%72%63%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> for the Reading forum.

We look forward to meeting some of you at the event and hope to hear from you soon.

I am on the Blackburn forum and have read that there are places available. I think that as a post it hould be posted daily to make more people aware. I was made aware by some one who had been on one not by the web site. Hope this helps. Thanks Missi

Hi I was on the blackburn forum 12th -13th september and was very impressed with it , Id just like to say thank you so much for all the support . michelle x

I’m going to Reading … is anyone here going to be there too?

As I’ve got a long journey, I’m staying on Thursday night too, so it’d be good to meet others for dinner then too.

Rebecca

Rebecca, I’m sending my form today - so I hopeto be on it. once confirmed I will tell you.

I live in london and am hoping to come up on the day, but coming up a night earlier sounds like a good plan too.

Karen

I’m going to the Reading forum - got a long way to travel so will also be arriving on the Thursday evening. Look forward to meeting you all there.

Cat

I have sent off for the pack today… Live in Watford.

Oh, great news! I’m already really looking forward to it (or is it just two nights away from the children!)

I’ll watch this space for more details nearer the time,

Rebecca

hmmm, never thought about it as being away for 2 nights from my litlle ones - sounds lovely, esp as i hear my hubby trying to convince our 2yr old that it’s bedtime.

My husband will be juggling a 13month old and a 2.5 year old … it’s character building for them!

Hiya everyone!
I live in Reading so I can pop back home if necessary!!! Or maybe not!! Look forward to seeing you there! If anyone wants to meet for a drink in the hotel bar befoehand, let me know!

Hi,

Unfortunately I have had to change my Herceptin dates (due to going on holiday) so I now will not be able to make it to the forum. Am quite disappointed as I would have loved to make and meet new friends. Please tell me which were the best talk sessions to go to.

Mumoftwo - oour children are the same age. And yes, it wil be character building for your hubby.

looking forward to hearing about the trip!

Karen

That’s such a shame Karen.

I had to move my Herceptintoo, as it was booked for the Thursday and was too difficult to manage both.

They’ll be another time, and maybe we could plan a social meet up anyway?

---- Also, has anyone had confirmation yet? —

I had a letter through from Roisin saying I had a place, but not sure if there’s meant to be another letter to follow from Hester.

Hi Cat, i had a letter saying i had got a place at the reading forum and 2 days later i had a conformation letter explaining the agenda for the week end, im sure yours must be in the post.

hope to see you soon.

Cat, shall I PM you my mobile? I’m still expecting to arrive some time late afternoon, and I’m really excited!

Looking forward to hearing about it.
