Breast Cancer Support Group

Tuesday I got a phone call reminding me of the Breast Cancer Support Group coffee on Wednesday.

As a group, we’ve been meeting for about nine years now ... every couple of weeks. It’s a blast when we get together. We’re kind of like a bunch of silly school girls. We talk about all sorts of things, sometimes we all talk at the same time and sometimes we just giggle for no reason at all.

Yesterday, we had a guest; one of the ladies brought her sister with her who was visiting from England.

As we were sitting there, I noticed Dr. H, walking into the cafeteria. Dr. H used to work at the Cross Cancer Institute as director of the Arts and Medicine program. She used facilitate the breast cancer support groups.

Anyways, we all waved to her and she came over. Of course she couldn’t remember us all but did recognize some faces. I believe she took someone’s contact information and wanted to connect with us again. Of course, I was having too much fun chatting and missed most of what was going on.

We finalized our plans for our summer garden party. J one of the ladies always offers her home to the group for a Christmas party and a summer garden party. She has a lovely home and back yard.

Our table was pretty crowded so we just about got through the whole meeting without having Ari join us. He is our mascot. Fortunately, he only made a quick appearance because there wasn’t enough room for him but we did have to show him to our guest.

He attracts a bit more attention than some of us like. Go figure ...
