Hi. I have just joined the group. Recently diagnosed with secondary breast cancer 11 years after the original treatment. Are there any specific support groups I can join to share experiences? Thanks.

  • Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community

    I'm sorry to read that you've recently been diagnosed with secondary breast cancer and it's great that you've reached out to talk to others about their experiences.

    You're right that the community is divided up into groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the secondary breast cancer group where you can ask questions, share experiences and get support from others who have the same type of cancer.

    To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post questions after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    When you have a minute it, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

    Hi latchbrook

    Thanks for your quick reply. I've already joined the group and found it reassuring to know my fears are like everyone else!

    Will try and do my profile.

    Thank you
