Cancer Survivors

Finished cancer treatment and ready to move on?

You may find that you see the world differently after cancer. Perhaps you feel that others don't understand your experience and expect you to 'get back to normal'. Cancer and its treatment can bring a host of practical challenges, from changes in appearance and body function to managing the emotional and social impacts.

Come and share your experiences at our online forum specially created for cancer survivors, carers, family, friends and work colleagues. As a participant, you will learn about the possible changes, challenges and opportunities you may face after completing cancer treatment. You will also have the opportunity to connect with others on a similar journey, and share tips, ideas and activities to help you live your life well.

I need to vent after reading an article on breast cancer screening

I was reading an article titled "Barred from screening" which went into why the government recommends free breast screening for older women only. The jist of it was that there was a higher risk of false positives in the testing of women aged 40 -49, no mention of women under 40. That at the end of the day it was an economic and resource issue, not enough doctors and not enough machines, even though the participation rate among the target group was 14% lower than aimed for.
