Feeling sad
I am very aware that I have lots to be grateful for this year feeling so well again but BC takes a toll on us in many ways. I guess Christmas is often a time when people feel the positive and negative effects that life changes can have on relationships. Last year I had not long finished treatment and so was just glad that…

5 years
Today it is 5 years since my diagnosis of breast cancer. I would rather have missed that experience, but I'm pleased to say I have managed to get through it all. I am divorced, at self-supporting which meant that I just had to keep working throughout my treatment, as much as possible, in order to keep my home. I am now…

Comments from others
Hi. I have a question that I need opinions on. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer I rung my mother ( who lives in another state to me) to let her know. Her reply was "you are a glutton for punishment". This took me aback but I didn't say anything. Do I have a right to be upset about this comment or would it be best…

Staying positive
Most of the time I'm postive, but I have had a couple of days where I do feel down and wonder why this is happening to me and will I ever feel normal again! If another person tells me to stay positive I think I will scream! I feel so bad even thinking like this as I know they are trying to make me feel better. Is it normal…

Up & Down
Wow, it already been a week since the operation to save my life and nearly a week at home. I have enjoyed many normal moments of my crazy, busy life. I have been blown away by the generosity from the Brest Cancer foundation from breast pillows, to drainage tube bag holders, a awesome after surgery bra, diary and much more.…

Until you go through it!
Who'd have thought 6 months down the track that I'd still have so far to go. Until you go through it you have no idea what's ahead or how hard it will be. I feel really bad for my friend who went through this ordeal 14 years ago. I had no idea how much she was hurting. Feel like a terrible friend. Here I am wining about bc…
