Welcome to The Guide

My name is Shirley, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010 aged 38 and quickly discovered how difficult it was to find all the support and services I needed in one place, so that is when I decided to put together a guide.There are so many wonderful services and support groups out there all doing a variety of things and I have tried to list as much as possible. It is my hope you are able to take one useful thing from this guide to make living with breast cancer that little bit easier..
