Sharing your blog
Hi Everyone, and especially the new ladies who have joined us on our wonderful site.
Firstly I would just like to say, there seems to be a couple of Ladies who can't read certain blogs.
This may be due to members not making their blog available to everybody, so anyone who wants to share with everyone/or not -- make sure you go into your profile and 'edit' and make sure it has the options you want to share or not are correct. If you have a problem yell out and we will try to help.
Remember it is not mandatory you share your Story, it's a matter of preference.

hi to everyone
i havent been on here for a couple of days, but have noticed a few new people, so would like to say to you all, welcome to the club nobody wants to be a member of, and although thats the case, we are so lucky to have this site, where we can all come and be happy, sad,or just find out information from people who have travelled the road. We are the lucky ones in the fact that "we are here to tell the story", and it's the old saying we can help ourselves by helping others.

bcna forum Whyalla
hi all,
mainly for the newbies who are still finding their way around the network, (hopefully the network oldies will have found it... is that we call us??) there is a bcna "living well beyond breast cancer" forum being held at Whyalla, SA on 21st February, so if you are around that area, make sure you register for it, it will be well worth going to. I for one will be there, and looking forward to it. so hopefully see some of you there, Regards Moira
Berlei Bras
hi everyone,
i am reading on here that a few are starting treatment, or have just had operations, just in case you dont know, you can receive a free berlei bra from BCNA, you have to have a professional health worker order it for you, but these bras are great, and are made specially for bc patients, so have a look on the site, or get in touch with one of the girls in bcna and they will point you in the direction so you can get one. If you cant find it let me know, and i will dig deeper for you. Regards Moira
