T-Shirts!
We've got all excited and are having some t-shirts made. They are just for fun, to raise awareness and we're adding $5 to donate to the BCNA. The t-shirts are black and have a silvery grey picture on the front of a dingo howling. It's on the diagonal length of the looped awareness ribbon (though not pink). There is also…

Two years today....Happy Halloween Ya'll
Today is my two year anniversary since surgery. Wow where did that go? Sometimes it feels a lifetime ago and somedays just like yesterday.

Karma
This afternoon I went to the petrol station and after filling up, I realised I had left my water bottle at home. (36degrees here in Adel) Having just finished chemo a week ago, I did not want to be out and about without water. I walked inside and went over to the fridge. Petrol is $1.67 here , bottled water...$4, gotta…

Income Protection
Hi, Long introduction: One of the things I've been grappling with is going back to work. As my diagnosis came almost at the end of the school year and I work in the education sector, I'm off work for a few weeks anyway.

Life is good on holidays
I've just returned from a holiday with my husband. 2.5 weeks on a motorbike tour around Victoria. It was a holiday we planned on my 51st birthday to do the next year but bloody breast cancer had other ideas. Just beforehand I was worried it wasn't going to happen again. My nipple reconstruction had some hiccups and I was…

Recovery Emotions
After a good couple of weeks I had a bad day yesterday. On what should have been a good one. One bad thing happened, I cried, and the rest of the day was cactus.

Two years on
I don't keep track of exact dates anymore, but it was early October 2016 when my recurrence was diagnosed. How time flies. Not. I don't know where the last two years have gone; sometimes it feels like it's only been a week, sometimes it feels like it's been an entire lifetime. So, after repeating the whole performance…
