Hello there!
Welcome to our latest community update, where we share some of the things that are happening in the community and here at Cancer Council.
Member update: We're now very close to 6,800 members!
We've had a lot happening in the community recently, so if you haven't had the time to visit, why not take a look?
Cancer Survivor Shout-Out
One of our community members, CaptainAustrali, recently kicked off a topic for people who have survived their cancer to share a few short things about themselves and in turn this will help those who have just been diagnosed and are just starting their cancer journey.
In his words... "I thought it might be nice to have a post here where survivors drop in their stats a simple format, so that people newly diagnosed can find folks with similar profiles who have gotten through it ?"
So if you have survived your cancer experience, we invite you to add your voice to the mix.
Get started helping others
Many people sign up to the Cancer Council Online Community to ask questions and you would all know from your own experiences out in the world, that it would be frustrating if no one responded to your post.
So, if you have a few minutes to spare, find out how you can help support others in the Online Community.
