Let me introduce myself, well sort of. I'm not going to use my name as I want to enjoy some anonymity on this site. Round the cancer traps in Victoria I am perhaps too well known so don't get a chance to think much about myself. As you can see I am a sailor, although I haven't done much of it recently as I've been far too busy. But that is me in the leading boat, taken off Altona in a State Titles about eight years ago. So Sailor can be my alias for this site. My boat is now about thirty years old but still competitive in the right conditions.

Hi All, I coordinate the Telephone and Internet Support Groups, run through the Cancer Council of Victoria, and am part of the team who want to make this space work in the best way possible for you all. I'm very excited that this site is up and running! In my work, I have heard so many people speak of the sense of isolation they feel when they, or someone they are close to has cancer. I'm looking forward to seeing more and more people from Australia (and internationally) being able to make "connections" with others who are going through similar experiences through this site.
