About us
This online group has been set up to provide a place for single mums to connect and support each other following a diagnosis of cancer.Our Story
My name is Soly, I was diganosed with breast cancer on the 7/12/10. I had two grade three tumors, triple negative, with three Lymph nodes positive. I had a left Mastectomy on the 13/12/10 and on the 24/1/11 I started 6 rounds of TAC Chemo. I was 30 at the time!
I am a sinlge mother of two beautiful girls aged 9 & 3 at the time of my diagnosis.
One of the hardest things I found during my journey was still having the sole responsibility of my two daughters. I found alot of support for myself, as a woman, breast cancer support goups both online and face to face, but even with all this, I still felt alone at times and wished I could have another single mum to talk to that was experiencing the same issues as me, as a "SINGLE MOTHER".
During my treatment I had a vision of a place where all Single mums going through a diagnosis of cancer can turn to with their children. I promised myself that once I was stronger and starting my "New Normal Life" I would establish a group for single mums with young children.
I live in Sydney and would love to make contact with Single Mums Australia wide for online support and face to face meeting in Sydney.

Article from my local paper...
Hello, its been a very busy and intresting couple of weeks with media interviews to try and raise more breast cancer awareness, especially in younger women, so i contacted my local paper and they did this story on my girls and i...
Mums, Mums, Mums...
It still amazes me the strength women have!
OK, im puttng my self on that quote above. Its been just over 2years since my marriage ended leaving me to be responsible for our 2 girls, 8 and 2 at the time. For about 3 months after our seperation i was constantly calling/msg him to arrange times to see the girls,never did he call to make the plans! Then one day in January of 2010 it accured to me, that one of the things he said to me before we seperated was that he was sick of me telling him what to do...So i stopped trying to make the arrangements.
