Hi all
my name is Chris and I am from SA..
My journey started in Feb 2014 following a routine mammo. My official diagnosis was early May following further screening,biopsy and eventually lumpectomy. Due to a strong family history I had a bilateral mastectomy with immediate recon. 8 surgeries later I am almost at the end of the roller coaster ride.
I found so much comfort and support along the way via this website that I wanted to do my bit and support others that are undergoing treatment.
I am looking forward to the summit as it will be an opportunity to connect with like minded people and give me some practical skills to provide the best support to others on the network.
See you next week
cheers
Chris
