21.01.2022 UPDATED re: Covid-19 Vaccine Eligibility Thank you to everyone who highlighted the discrepancies of information between our most recent Covid-19 Vaccine post and the information provided on the vaccine eligibility checker on health(.)org We are happy to confirm that the vaccine roll out does include those who have been diagnosed within 5 years as previously stated within our article on our My Journey online tool.... The information of the vaccine eligibility checker is now being updated. Once again, we thank you for your comments and concerns. More information can be found on our My Journey online tool here: https://buff.ly/3rPog9J

14.01.2022 UPDATE: Please refer to our newest post re: discrepancies between our advice and the eligibility checker. If you have been diagnosed with breast cancer within the past five years you will be eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine from mid-March. We know you might have questions about the vaccine and how it might affect your treatment.... It’s important you discuss your individual situation with your healthcare team regarding the decision to have the vaccine or when it is best suitable to receive it within your treatment plan.

10.01.2022 Join us on Thursday 11 February at 7.00 pm (AEDT) for our first webcast of the year as we talk about what happens after treatment ends.

This webcast will assist in providing you with the techniques and strategies to support reducing that fear of cancer recurrence. Professor Bruce Mann, Breast Surgeon, Dr Charlotte Tottman, Clinical Psychologist & Kathy Bel...l, BCNA Consumer Representative, will explore the facts around how likely it is that your breast cancer will recur, what you need to look out for (what are the red flags) and how to manage the emotional triggers and challenges.
