Welcome Conversation 👋

Hi and welcome to the Cancer Council Online Community.

Everyone arrives here with a different story. Some people are living with cancer, some are supporting a loved one, and others are looking for information, understanding or connection.

We know joining a new community can feel like a big step, so we'd like to make saying hello easy.

To get started, we'd love to hear your answer to one simple question:

What would help you most right now?

You can share as much or as little as you'd like.

Not sure what to write? Here are a few examples:

• I've just been diagnosed and am trying to get my head around everything.
• My partner was recently diagnosed and I'm looking for advice from other carers.
• I'm going through treatment at the moment and would like to hear from others who've been through something similar.
• Treatment has finished but I'm finding it harder than I expected.
• I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and don't really know where to start.
• I mostly want to read other people's experiences at the moment.
• Hi everyone 👋

There are no right or wrong answers, and no pressure to share more than you're comfortable with.

Whether you'd like to ask a question, share an experience, or simply say hello, you're very welcome here.

Thanks for stopping by — we're glad you're here. 💛
