Three Years Today!
It's official. Three years ago today my husband and I sat in a small office at Breast Screen with a doctor we'd never met and a counsellor I'd seen twice before to receive the news that I had triple negative breast cancer.

Mad Thursday at the cancer centre.
Well, here I am after spending the entire morning and part of the afternoon at our local cancer centre.
