Hi there,
Is there anyone from Cairns, Queensland that might be able to offer any advice about getting treatment as a young woman in Cairns, or who might like to just talk sometime?
Cheers,

Hi,
Oh I didnt realised islam had left, i saw him last in Oct and wont see him or whoever else for another 6 months.
I finished chemo last March, I did 6 rounds of FEC-D and no rads and 5 years of Tamoxifen, there was talk that its now recommeneded for 10 years!! Aaaaargh! Ive also had my expander to implant surgery in May.
Everyone reacts so differently to chemo and the different types of drugs they give you. To be perfectly honest my first was horrid, the nausea was the worst. But every chemo got a little better. Then when I had D it was different symptoms all together, mainly sore achey bones and muscles. Just make sure you talk the medication they give you after, and if its not working let them know. The nurses are just lovely and really look after you.
Everytime i had chemo I took a water bottle, magazine, ipad and a few snacks. do you have family and friends in Cairns? Please let me know if you'd like to meet up for a chat or if you'd some company when you have chemo. x
