Long Island Support Group 2017

Good Morning,

My name is Elaine and we have started a little support group on Long Island about a year ago. A bunch of us meet that are at different stages in our journey. It is very informal and nice to chat with others that are experiencing the same issues you may be during your journey.

If anyone else from the area will like to join us we will be meeting this Saturday June 3rd at Panera in Garden City 1140 Franklin Ave at 2:30. The group consist of both men and women.

Have a great weekend,

Elaine

February 10th works for me anytime after 1pm because I am working until 1 that day. Let me know a time and place that is good for everyone. Thanks Elaine


Did you guys read my mind?? I’m pre-op but kind of freaking out second guessing everything, and looking for a support group to hear more about people’s journey.
