Hello from a Newbie!

Posted by Celeste on 20 Aug 2010, 10:22PM

Hello, I'm new at all this, so just wanted to say hi to the BCNA community! I'm slowly rebuilding my life after a breast cancer diagnosis in 2008, and treatment that finished last year, and I'd love to hear from others who have had a similar experience! :-)

Hi Moira, thanks for making me feel so welcome! I'm gradually getting used to the site, making more sense of it  and spending less time going round in circles the more I visit!

I notice some talk about CL training...is this training that the BCNA runs?

Bye for now, Celeste

hi again

yes celeste

CL training was a 2 day course about 13 women went to in Melbourne, it is Community Liason.  It gave us a great insight into bcna, and it is our job to make sure all women know about the support they can get etc. it was really informative, and inspiring.  you can register on line to take part in these and various other groups.... well worth it.
