Hello members,


Over the last year I have really enjoyed being your Community Manager. You have all inspired me with your stories of strength facing your different conditions and you have opened my mind through reading your discussions.


It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to you all.emoticon frown-big I wish you all the very best going forward and I hope you all continue using Carenity and finding it a useful support tool.


It’s my pleasure to introduce Michael who will be moderating the UK forum from here on out. Be sure to give him a hearty welcome and don’t hesitate to contact him with your questions or concerns.


Much love,


Josephine

Hi Michael, this is the first time I have communicated on the site, I have so much going on in my life and now at odds with this terrible virus.  I am fine but my daughter in law caught it so desperately worried for her, my son and his young family.  It disheartens me to see that so many people are flaunting the rules on going out as well as not staying at home away from another household that has your mother, father, sister etc but we need to protect ourselves and the NHS.  I have just watched a tearful video of a nurse on the front line and it is heartbreaking for all that are on the front line.  I also have a daughter and a granddaughter who work in supermarkets and I pray that they will be safe.  I also have a new granddaughter of 3months whom I havent seen for weeks but I look forward to the day when we can put all this behind us with the hope that they find a cure.

 

Cheers JP

@jeanp52 Hello jeanp52, welcome to Carenity! I agree, it is indeed frustrating to see people disregarding the measures put in place to protect us all. Hopefully they will come to their senses soon! Wishing you and your family the best during this difficult time.

@Tezzaa‍ Hello Tezzaa, thank you for your words of encouragement. It's important for us all to try to keep up our morale! emoticon bashful

Take care,

Courtney

Hi all. 
I am finding it difficult to navigate the site?

i need to ask if anyone else is suffering with the loss of more breast tissue after radiotherapy?

my breast has lost at least half of itself! And I only finished radiotherapy last Thursday!  Anyone help please! Is this normal?

@Shabbyangel Hello Shabbyangel, thank you for commenting. I believe the discussion the group you're looking for is here: Living with Breast Cancer. Feel free to post your question there, our members should be able to share their experiences with you and any advice they may have.

You can always find your way back to the groups related to your condition by hovering your mouse over the SHARE tab at the top of the screen and clicking on My groups.

Courtney

It’s a worrying time for everyone but be positive as it will help you get through,if you follow the rules that’s all you can do and hope that others do the same ,cause we can’t make other people live the way we do or want them to do
