    I will try to sign up for a Friday, but it will have to be the middle of October. Mondays is dinner time - 6pm by me.

    Hi all,

    Been missing the meetings because I'm not getting the zoom invites anymore. Trying to figure out if there is a workaround, but haven't found one yet:-(.

    Blessings!

    @chuckee1104 You're on the list, so you should get the reminders! We'll take a look.

    The timing of you guys reducing the frequency of the virtual groups kind of sucks. I could have used that support yesterday as I was dealing with my mammogram looking wonky and needing to go in next week for a biopsy. I don’t want outreach from a random staff member. I want my group.

    Hi @kristinj,

    First, we're sorry to hear of the scare you're going through right now and we're sending all of our good thoughts your way for benign results. Gentle hugs to you!

    We're so sorry for the disappointment about the frequency of the meetups, but unfortunately this was a business decision that could not be avoided. Breastcancer.org is a non-profit and all of our programs, including the virtual meetups, are funded only by the generous support we receive. Unfortunately, when funding is limited, some programs must be limited as well.

    We do still offer the Friday and Monday Bonded by Breast Cancer groups, only every-other week. There will be a meeting this Friday if you'd like to join and share your concerns about your upcoming biopsy. Here is the link to register: https://breastcancer-org.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIuduGspz0rG93Jrg16Zi1NQrja-insoVJm

    We hope we see you on Friday! Remember you can always reach us for support via email at community@breastcancer.org or via PM here.

    Again, I wish more people stopped in to check in. Sometimes writing what you are thinking lets some of the power go.
