Ben and I saw the need for an in person support group. Both of us could have used that when we were first diagnosed. I felt so isolated and alone especially when going for BCg or a cysto. Most of the time I was the only woman (age 50) in the waiting area with a big bunch of men 60+ . I kept wondering if I was the only woman on the planet let alone Calgary with BC. I really have enjoyed doing the group and am happy that even though we are few at the moment people feel that they are getting something out of it. We will perservere and grow next year.
