Triple Negative Survivor
I just wanted to wish all the very best of luck and success with their experience that has brought them to come on-line for some support and understanding. Reaching out to ladies or family members who are experiencing quite a shock and having as much support as they want is very important. I want to say that my Christmas…

Happy Days
Hi all, Hope you are travelling well. Today I have good reason to be happy. Firstly, I got the pathology results from the colonoscopy I had to have earlier this week and my GP was quick to say those magic words: "you don't have cancer" -woohoo!! So, although one of the polyps removed did have some pre-cancerous activity…

Things that make you smile take 2
I spent a lovely afternoon with my grandson who was celebrating his 4th birthday. My husband & I had bought him a toy truck complete with bulldozer & fork lift. He was very excited and he said "come & sit down on the floor Nan & play with me because your very friendly". If only he knew how hard it is for a Nan of 69…

Think I am overthinking (again).
Hi Ladies, This is my first post on here, a site I wish I had of found months ago. I have just finished six months of chemo, see the breast surgeon next week to find out when I will be having the mastectomy and my oncologist has recently told me that I will need to take Letrozole for the next five years.

Gratitude, Love and Living - Day 22 - Live Life Now
It is an easy thing to do. Just sit around and do the same thing every single day. It is comfortable and 'one day' you will get around to the things you want to do. There are so many things on the list before you get right down to your items. It is NOT selfish to put yourself first sometimes. In fact I believe it helps you…

Gratitude, Love and Living - Day 20
Day 20 - Amazingly Thankful It is a strange phenomenon when you are trying your hardest to de-clutter and spring clean the house and you find yourself bringing in furniture. I am running with the rule "if if has not been used for 12 months, it goes". Vinnies are going to love me. I have 30 years + of collecting things that…

Gratitude, Love and Living - Day 18 - Not Defined. Just Intertwined
Day 17 - HopefulDay 18 - Grateful Today once again I woke to my alarm. It may very well be an alarm to remind me to take my morning chemotherapy drugs but an alarm to wake none the less. In he back of my mind there is a little voice. It is a nagging voice (aren't they all) that mimics those who in passing have given advice…
