Welcome to the 'Engaging online communities' online group

Hi,My name is Keryn, Im from Sale in East Gippsland in Victoria, so not so far to travel for the summit but at least I know how cold it is down here.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009 and had a mastectomy and axillary clearance of the 21 nodes removed 16 were involved. Ive had the book of treatments, Chemo, Radio and as I was HER2+ I had 12 months of Herceptin as well. Ive also had a complete hysterectomy and removal of my ovaries as I had large cysts on the ovaries for many years and didn't want to go down that path also. In 2014 I had a DIEP reconstruction and then a nipple sharing op that didn't work. I have since had my "tittoo" and think that not having a "Barbie" boob is great.

I have been a CL since 2011 and have been heavily involved with the Pink Bun campaign with my local BD owner. (By the way - I'm pretty sure our store, Sale, topped donations in Victoria this year!!!!!!)

Im really looking forward to meeting my new friends and generally getting together with like minded people.
