WHY NOT MEET UP WITH US?
Until recently there was no such support group for those of us living with Secondary Breast Cancer. With the support of Make2ndsCount, a charity based in Scotland, some of us meet up regularly for tea and chat and other supportive activities. Why not join us?
Our tea and chats recent included a 'Tropic' Pamper Session, Learning to Paint and making flower baskets.
We have other mechanisms of support now that we actually know others living with SBC so we also have fun social activities, and a network of WhatsApp groups where we support each other. This has become a life line and a route beyond the isolation many of us have previously felt.
We are no longer alone.
