Hey Fellas,
How are you going?
Just sending a message to see what you think this group could do and suggest some ideas. I have been disappointed in some ways about the level of help with cancer survivorship specifically to TC. Instead of expecting the help to come to me I have gone out to find it and there is basically no cancer groups that relate specifically to TC and the general cancer survivorship groups are few and far between. TC is also a cancer that relates almost specifically to younger people, that is rare in the world of cancer and gives some of it's own challenges to overcome.
Obviously everyone with TC is a bloke and I think blokes would rather just meet up in pub somewhere for the most part as well as email/phone support. This does not help with getting people to join this group though. I think this forum is the best site on the internet to attract people from Australia but there is also Cancer Councils, notice boards at hospitals, other cancer groups that will also spread the word. Another internet site may also be an idea but there is already this one and a wealth of knowledge and experience to go with it.
Everything has to start from somewhere, any other ideas?
cheers
Trent
