Disappointing
Disappointed to see BCNA taking a political stance supporting Josh Frydenberg in Kooyong. I don’t believe BCNA speaks for all members . https://twitter.com/votejoshout/status/1516764200252895232?s=21&t=namo3EO-6IJ29_L_8Bq-jg

Stopping treatment
I (and only I) have made the decision to stop my chemo treatment. After suffering for weeks now since my last round with hospitalisations, infections. pain, oral thrush to the extent that I haven't eaten in 3 weeks I just think that any more treatment would actually kill me. I know my family is going to argue this with me…

Feelings of Guilt
Do you suffer from guilt? I know I do, even though I am told not to, I still do. I feel like I have put everyone's life on hold because of my diagnosis. I was lucky that I was diagnosed early and that my treatment has been relatively text book - surgery, radiation to start soon and then Hormone Blocking therapy. I paid for…

Little Dreamers came out of her life experience which is amazing and inspiring. At 9 years of age Madeline identified a gap in the support system for young people who cared for sick family…

I have been a member of this online network since 2014, just after my diagnosis. At a recent breast cancer seminar at a city near where I live, something hit me like it hasn't in all this time, the subject of survivors who happen to be childless. I thought to myself, "Noone talks about this. Why?" This has led me to do my…
