JFLW Support Group
First Monday of the month (except holidays) JFLW support group meets at 6pm in the Jubilee Cottage at Goodwood.
Join us at our Joanna Francis Living Well Facebook page to be kept up to date on our fun and events.
Why we LOVE Joanna Francis Living Well
First of all I will say it’s not a group that you really want to be a member of, but I’m so glad that I found it. I enjoy being a part of JFLW because for one night a month I can feel normal and its o.k. to express my emotions. The support group understands me and its become like a second family to me. I didn’t have this type of support when I was originally diagnosed because it didn’t exist yet. But I sure wish I had because I would have had answers to so many questions, concerns and understanding the treatments I was facing and what to expect and the right questions to ask. Having people to talk to that understand where you are and where are going is so much more educational than simply sitting and listening and not truly hearing all of the words that the doctors are throwing out at you. JFLW to me simply means lots of Support, the occasional Hug and most importantly Love.

JFLW is the club nobody wants to join, but for those of us who find ourselves a member, it becomes an anchor, a lifeline, a sisterhood. JFLW stepped in and helped me financially with a major move into a different home during my chemotherapy treatments when I was in no shape financially or physically to endure this event. This was more help to me than I can possibly express.
But the true place JFLW holds in my heart is in the friendships, acceptance, and support that surround me on all sides from the amazing women involved. From the leadership (amazing Jen and the board members) to each and every survivor sister that gathers to be vulnerable, honest, and hold each other up. It's my safe place, The space where I've grown in ways I didn't even know I needed to. The space where I'm figuring out who I am again after kicking cancer's ass and completely changing my life.
