Welcome to the website for the Advanced Breast Cancer Group. We are a Queensland- wide service specifically developed to support women with secondary breast cancer, and their partners and families.
Due to concerns about the spread of Covid-19, the weekly group for women is being exclusively delivered via video conference currently. If you are interested in joining the group and connecting with other women living with metastatic breast cancer, please contact us at [email protected] or on 07 3217 2998.
This site is intended as a resource and a support for:
Women
Women who have been diagnosed with ABC and are searching for information and support.
Families
women, families and friends who would like to know more, who would like to benefit from sharing their experience of living with abc, and would like to learn how others approach this challenge.
Health Professionals
health professionals who work with women with secondary, metastatic breast cancer and their families.

More About the Group
The group runs weekly, currently delivered by videoconference. It is funded by Queensland Health.
And More...
Most women join this group to meet other women with advanced breast cancer (also known as metastatic, or secondary breast cancer), and to find out how others cope with living with this disease.
Health Professionals
This Group has been running since 1999, and is open to all women in Queensland who have a diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer. We offer this service to women in rural and remote areas of the state, as well as those who are too sick to attend in person, and is currently delivered by videoconference.
Resources
The Advanced Breast Cancer group offers a variety of resources – including our 3 DVDs, available at no cost.
Videos
Over time we have collected a variety of video clips filmed at our workshops. Among others these include short excerpts from some of the Q&A sessions with specialists in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.
