Support meetings are a great opportunity to come along, ask questions, learn and share in a relaxed and informal setting with others who are impacted by hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. People at all stages of the hereditary breast and ovarian cancer journey attend - ranging from those who are considering genetic testing, those who've tested, those preparing for surgery, those who are managing their risk via surveillance, those figuring out how to support others and share the information with their children etc. There are no silly questions and despite it being a serious topic, we even manage to have a few laughs. These groups meet every three or four months and everyone is welcome.
