Thank you re acceptance
I thank all the comments received so far. My cousin bought prosthesis to wear when she went out with her husband. She found them heavy and made her shoulders ache. Her husband said to wear them for herself not him. They have sat in a box for 9 years with an occasional dust! I did discuss the bra with my husband and his…

Understanding Breast Density - Professor Wendy Ingman
Mammograms are a fantastic tool for identifying many breast cancers - However, having Dense Breast Tissue can result in a later diagnosis as tumours don't always 'show' on 2D mammograms for women with more dense breast tissue, until they are larger & more dangerous.

Music for radiation therapy

Although there is music playing, I’ve not been offered this but even so, I wouldn’t want to risk creating a mental link between something horrible to my all time favourite music.

Breast out, immobilised. How’s the radiation small talk?
So I’ve done a week of radiation and struggling with what’s normal. People here often say the staff are so lovely and supportive blah blah and have effusive praise. There is no conversation or small talk with me, they talk to each other but not to me. But quite frankly, how else could this go? I don’t have language for…

Where it all started
In February I had weight loss surgery and in may I turned 50 and with that came the mammogram reminder. About 6 weeks ago and with a 40kg weightloss I was diagnosed with a stage1, 1cm malignant lump. It hit me like a tonne of bricks. If it wasnt for my weightloss they may never have found it. I got my referral to see the…
