Thursday Girls Cancer Support Group Inc.
Thursday Girls
Thursday Girls comprises a warm, supportive and inclusive community of women who are living with advanced breast cancer, and their partners. This cancer is incurable, but due to ongoing improvement in treatment options, many women are able to live satisfying, productive lives for many years. The Thursday Girls free program includes two weekly therapeutic support groups for women, and a similar twice-monthly group for their partners. The groups have three main functions: to share information, create meaningful relationships with people in similar situations and get in touch with difficult feelings and thoughts, dilemmas and challenges. One group meets face to face in Box Hill, a suburb in Melbourne. This is a hybrid group, with a Zoom option for women who may be unwell or away. There is also a group that is only on Zoom. This enables women who live in other parts of Victoria to join remotely.
