Happy Birthday
* Well it's my 45th birthday and I'm waiting for my surgeon to call with my pathology results. I had my surgery on Friday lumpectomy with an axilla dissection. * I had 2 tumors removed from my right breast, 1 was 8mm the other 14mm * Sometimes I am brave but sometimes I am petrified as to what I am in for. *

There are 52 bushes, 46 being…

Inspirational words...
"What are my chances? It was a question I would repeat over and over. But it was irrelevant, wasn't it? It didn't matter, because the medical odds don't take into account the unfathomable. There is no proper way to estimate somebody's chances, and we shouldn't try, because we can never be entirely right, and it deprives…

next adventure
Just started my first chemo- travelling ok- the anticipation is just as scarey. Felt pretty sleepless and yuk after but day 2 is better. All this stuff certainly requires patience.

Thankyou
Thanks Katie for creating this support group. I had a 5cm Phyllodes tumor removed 2 and a bit weeks ago. Luckily it has come back low grade, which is the best of a bad situation, but I am getting frustrated with the "grey area" it seems to fall into. I have not ticked the breast cancer box when signing up on this web site…
