REPORT ON THE SUPPORT GROUP EVENING AT THE JUNCTION ON 13th APRIL

Dear All,

             Although we were all very reluctant to leave the familiarity of 34, I am sure you would now admit The Junction is an altogether more accommodating venue. With 48 in attendance, I am not sure how we could have squeezed you all into 34. Having received several positive emails following the evening, I feel the decision to move house was a wise one. 

 

            The church committee have given us the use of their facilities at a reduced hire rate and as our evenings are self-supporting we are very grateful for this. We have undertaken to leave the reception area, toilets, kitchen and main meeting room shipshape when leaving, so thank you to those of you who helped in this effort. Your monetary contributions covered all our costs with a little over, which is reassuring for future meetings.

 

            Our continued support to each other in the these gatherings will surely see them carry on growing and benefiting everyone, both emotionally and psychologically, so long may they continue. Finally where would we be without our Alvan on the night? He was, as usual, a star. Alas, our other star, Julian, was called upon to shine elsewhere on the night. 

 

          We were delighted to welcome Gayan (Guy) Chetiyawardana, a Urology Advanced Practitioner, from Mount Vernon. Guy has offered to attend future meetings to discuss, with members who have either had radiotherapy or are contemplating it, its before & after ramifications. Time permitting, he will also engage on a one to one basis as well as dealing with any general questions from the group. 

 

We are indeed fortunate to have such talent in our midst – so “Thank you” to Sue Hordyj for introducing Guy to us.

The next meeting is on 11th May at The Junction, from 7.30 to about 9.30 as usual.

 

Gabrielle
