home news & events support & information contact more who we are bosom friends is a breast cancer support group for people who have been affected by breast cancer and who live in and around the oxford area. ​ our group, which meets once a month, aims to be friendly and informal. it isn’t a group therapy gathering – which is usually a more formal group, generally run by professionals, where people are encouraged to express personal feelings as part of their treatment. bosom friends is run entirely by volunteers. we have all been diagnosed with breast cancer, some of us are currently undergoing treatment, and many of us have completed treatment for breast cancer in the past. we are, therefore, in a good position to offer support, comfort and understanding to each other and, should you find yourself with a breast cancer diagnosis, to you. we aim to offer practical help and suggestions, useful and up-to-date information. in addition, should you need specific advice we can ‘signpost’ you to professional agencies. we can offer an understanding voice, in confidence, at the end of the phone should you need it. ​ ​ bosom friends’ monthly meetings our meetings are held on the first monday of each month (excluding bank holidays) from 2 – 4pm. more often than not, meetings are held in volunteers’ homes. coffee, tea, herbal / fruit teas, cakes and biscuits (including dairy-free) are the order of the day. meetings sometimes incorporate guest speakers, or may include a visit to the maggie’s centre at the churchill hospital in oxford. past guest speakers have included breast care nurses, nutritionists, complementary therapists (for example reflexologists) - and even a published author! please see our events page and sign up to our newsletter for details of forthcoming meetings or telephone one of our friendly members on our contacts page. you are warmly invited to join us for a cuppa and a chat. all are welcome and we look forward to meeting you. ​ our story bosom friends was formed in the early 1990s by two women who had been diagnosed with breast cancer. a breast cancer diagnosis is frightening and overwhelming and the founders wanted to ensure that others in oxfordshire would not experience the same isolation they felt following their diagnosis and subsequent treatment. they wanted to provide support to patients, former patients, their partners, relatives and friends. now in its second decade, bosom friends is still going strong and continues to give support to women, and their families, at this difficult time. testimonials jan’s story “like many people today, i have personal experience of family loss due to cancer, both my parents had died as a result of cancer. but breast cancer was something other people got! so when i went for an investigation for another breast lump (i had a history of cysts), it was a devastating shock to be told i had breast cancer; i was totally unprepared for that news. i was “lucky”. i was diagnosed about half an hour after seeing the specialist, so was spared the agony of waiting for results. i was in the jane ashley breast care unit, at the churchill in oxford, having a lumpectomy within ten days. unfortunately the biopsy showed that the tumours were ‘multi-focal’ and further surgery was needed. so six weeks later i was back having a bi-lateral mastectomy. this was followed by radiotherapy. i was fortunate that someone i knew well had been through the same procedure; she was my “rock” throughout the cancer journey. someone to ask those niggling questions that you don’t like to ask the professionals in case you seem self-absorbed or to be a time-waster. she introduced me to the group bosom friends. the ladies were all in the same boat - affected by breast cancer, either currently or previously. i’d never seen myself as a “support group” sort of person, but these people were all just like me – ‘normal’ (debatable, some might say!) but happy to share their experiences to ease someone else’s fears, when the occasion warranted. a couple of years later the two ladies who had been co-ordinating the group for around 13 years decided to step down, and invited me to step up in their place. i was amazed that they thought i was up to such a task and declined, but it was obvious that the group must go on, so together with another colleague we agreed to carry on where they left off” . dee’s story ​ “it seems everyone these days sadly knows someone who has, or has had, cancer. nevertheless, when you are diagnosed with the big c, it’s the most devastating and shocking news. ​ i was 44 when i received my cancer diagnosis. far too young for cancer, i naively thought – but, of course, cancer doesn’t discriminate. when i found a lump in my breast i went to see my gp straight away. she said she suspected it was breast cancer. a few days later, having had mammograms, biopsies and much medical prodding and poking i was told the news that my family and i had feared the most: i had breast cancer. ​ a couple of weeks later i had a mastectomy. i was scarred, my body had changed considerably, i felt very unattractive – and i was very concerned about my future health. it was at this point that i decided i needed to speak with someone who knew – really knew – how i was feeling following my diagnosis. i searched online and found the bosom friends’ website and went along to their next meeting. it was at the home of one of the members. we had coffee and cake, chatted and laughed a lot. the ladies were all so friendly and encouraging. some had been members for 15 years; i found this really reassuring – 15 years post-diagnosis, they were all still very much alive and kicking! ​ a few weeks later i started six sessions of chemotherapy – cancer-beating drugs pumped around my body every three weeks. i chose to try the cold-cap in an attempt to keep my hair. i didn’t lose it all but my hair was certainly a mess (the friar tuck look is not a glamorous one). chemo left me feeling exhausted – physically and emotionally – but the weeks went quickly enough and before i knew it i was starting radiotherapy at the churchill hospital. for me, the rads were a walk in the park compared with the chemo. i was lucky i didn’t burn but i must have gone through tubs and tubs of aqueous cream! ​ i was generally able to go to most bf meetings throughout my treatment and i’m so glad i did - my new friends at the group were supportive and encouraging. four years on, i’ve got used to my new ‘normal’. i’ve had reconstructive surgery, my hair is back, i feel pretty healthy - and i still meet with my bosom friends once a month. i’m very glad i found these lovely ladies and hope to be involved with the group for many years, sharing experiences and hopefully giving support to new bosom friends”. ​ sandra’s story ​ “i am grateful to say that i have reached the grand age of 65, given that i have had two primary cancers. eleven years ago i was diagnosed with primary bladder cancer, grade 3. at the time statistics stated that for 50% of people developing bladder cancer, smoking was a contributory factor, they were usually over the age of 67 and this type of cancer was more common in men. i did not fit into any of these categories. i had always been a non-smoker, seldom drank and couldn’t get enough fruit and veg! soon after my diagnosis i asked if there was a support group which i could attend. i was informed that there wasn’t such a group at that time and even if there was, it would mostly be men affected and that generally they are less likely to attend such groups. i am very happy to say that this has now changed - so that is brilliant. i was still pretty naive, as although i was aware i could get a secondary cancer, i didn't think i would get another primary cancer whilst still receiving treatment for the first one. however in march 2009 after my third routine mammogram i received a letter for a call back to stoke mandeville hospital. several tests later i was diagnosed with grade 2 lobula
