Hi all

Just wondering if anyone is planning on going to Dublin castle on the 29th would really love to meet some like minded people also nervous about it. Would like to know how others feel.

Love to all x

Go Girls!!!

attended this for the last 2 yrs & found it great. Conference is first class but you can't beat meeting up with people in your own situation, found this most helpful. Have registered but hope to be in Beaumont for my re-con, awaiting call for bed for Weds, if no bed will see you there.

Hiya,

Ya I've signed up to go too with my Mum (we're coming up from Cork). And I'm a little apprehensive too. This will be my first time since diagnosis going to anything like this. I'm sure we won't be the only nervous ones there. I'll go if you go...... Image removed.

Hi Ladies

I have been to the last three BC conferenes and am going on saturday tho I can only stay till after lunchtime.

If you are thinking of going but a little nervous about going on your own, please don't be. First year I went with other ladies I have met on this journey but since then I have gone alone but have never felt alone if ya know what I mean.

EVERYONE you meet will be or have been in same boat as you and they are all there to support and chat so dont feel embarrased or nervous going along.

There will be all shapes and sizes, bald heads, wigs, full head of hair, eyebrows missing, surgical drains etc etc.

Honestly you wont be disappointed, you will feel so much better after it (if a little tired from all the talking!!!)

Although I didn't manage to meet anyone from here I thought the conference was good and well worth attending.
