Connecting people living with EGFR+ lung cancer
At EGFR Positive UK, we are lucky to have a strong sense of community. We began connecting members of our group through online Zoom meetings, and it quickly became clear that people with EGFR+ lung cancer found it hugely beneficial to meet others in a similar position. Monthly online meetings still continue, but we also have a group of dedicated Regional Ambassadors who organise local face-to-face meetups in fifteen locations across the UK.
Members have described the value of meeting in person to connect with like-minded people, share experiences and support one another. Our Regional Ambassadors organise, facilitate and host ‘Meet and Chat’ sessions throughout the year, and people living with EGFR+ lung cancer and their loved ones are very welcome to attend. Activities can include morning coffee, lunch or evening socials, and EGFR+ UK subsidises these events.
We advertise our in-person and online events in our private Facebook group, but if you would like to be connected to your local Regional Ambassador, please contact Liz at membersupport@egfrpostitive.org.uk
