We know a diagnosis of secondary breast cancer can mean adjusting to
difficult changes in your life, and sometimes it can help to talk with other
people in a similar situation. Our Living with Secondary Breast Cancer
groups give you the chance to do just that, in a relaxed and supportive
environment. Details for our Orpington group:
Location:Primrose centre Orpington, close to Princess Royal University Hospital
When: Usually the first Monday of every month (you can go to as
many or as few groups as you like), starting in November 4th 2024
Time: 11am – 1pm / 1.30pm
Who: Around 6 to 12 people who are also living with secondary breast
cancer. An experienced counsellor will be there to welcome you and
facilitate.
What: A chance to chat about whatever’s on your mind with other
people who understand. Every 3 months you’ll also hear from an
expert speaker on topics such as side effects, fatigue, clinical trials
and even creative writing. We’ll sort out drinks and snacks.
If you’d like to come along to the group in Orpington
