We meet in comfortable premises and give the opportunity for women to make new friends and to have a chat over a cup of tea or coffee.  We give support to each other through what can often be a difficult and traumatic time, both during and after breast cancer treatment.   Most months we have a speaker who will talk about relevant issues.  Sometimes we will have a talk on a serious subject, for example we might have a Breast Care Nurse to talk about reconstruction surgery or prostheses, and other sessions will be fun, feel-good events.  We can also supply information on a large range of subjects of interest and concern to members.   Meetings are normally held on the first Monday in each month at 10 a.m. at Melton Baptist Church.

APRIL

The April meeting will be a week later than usual on 12th due to the bank holiday. Vicky from Trulife will show us how to measure correctly for a bra and will bring mastectomy lingerie, prostheses and other products made by the company.

MAY

We hope to have a social evening instead of our morning meeting.  This will be held a week later than usual due to the bank holiday.

JUNE

On 7th June Mike from Salvestrol Natural Products Ltd will talk to the group about the health benefits for cancer patients in taking the supplement Salvestrol.  Salvestrols have been described by Professor Dan Burke as, “The most significant breakthrough in nutrition since the discovery of vitamins.”

JULY

5th July meeting event to be arranged.

AUGUST

On 2nd August we will be sailing on the St Clare, a narrow boat based at Thurmaston owned by the Baldwin Trust.  There are only 12 places available so book early to avoid disappointment.
