Thanks for your replies and suggestions. I agree…stick with the best, and this is it (Her2+ website). And, as you said, the fact that we all share the same type of cancer, makes us unique; we don’t have to sift through loads of information to find something that pertains to us/Her2+. And yes, it eliminates distractions, plus we are free to go to the group anytime day or night, whenever the time is right.

In terms of the “other” groups, one that is conducted by professionals would keep the topic in focus and stop misinformation. It seems that without that professional, the focus would probably be more of a social event, although some people would surely be seeking information, too.

So, we will see where this goes. Nothing will ever be attempted, if all possible objections must be first overcome. ~Samuel Johnson, Rasselas, 1759
