Hi. I'm 5 weeks post diagnosis (PD usually means Professional Development for me but I'll go with this new meaning as my world has been turned on it's proverbial head!). 4 weeks ago I had a mastectomy and axillary clearance. Today I started chemo. Was ready for the S&D Team (seek and destroy) to get onboard and start doing their thing!
I am finding sometimes I need this site and the camaraderie, info and my blog (http://www.bcna.org.au/user/12163/blog) to keep me going. Other times I want to forget about the fact that I have (HAD!) cancer and play at being as 'normal' as possible. That means NOT talking about it, being with NON BC 'healthy' friends and enjoying that I am on leave and have time to spend with my daughters and their kids (3 grandies! 2 year old boy, 2 month old girl (brother and sister), 1 day old girl (their cuz!). This is important time because it feels soooo good and positive! I am relaxed, happy and my body can heal.
So... has this group had any get-togethers?? I have been to two with the Adelaide BC Friendship Group (ABCFG) at Norwood.... Is there a different purpose perhaps for this group - just local sharing...?
Cheers
Erica
