recovery and life
It has been a week since my surgery for the lumpectomy and node removal. Funny enough, I was not nervous. I went into surgery calm and with the attitude - I am in good hands. Surgery took a bit longer because I found out today they got a rather nasty surprise.....the lump measured 8.5 cm or 85mm instead of the 2.5 cm they…

Telehealth follow up
Hi, I’m feeling pretty anxious about not being to visit my oncologist and radiologist in person for my first follow up appointments later this month.

Anyone else in limbo?
Hi guys, I’m sure many of you are in the same boat and wondering what you have been advised. I have had a lumpectomy on my right breast and had 5 months of dense dose chemo for a triple neg grade 3 cancer.

Covid19 and breast cancer
It's been two years since I had a baseline bone density scan (DEXA) and I had a date booked for my next one. They sent me a text message a couple of weeks ago to say it's has been indefinitely postponed due to Covid19. After finally working up the strength to sort out my revision and nipple surgery I was booked in for 24th…
