In 1984 two day before my 29 th birthday, i had my right breast and glands under my right arm removed. I'm searching for anyone who was also diagnosed with breast cancer in the reply to mid 1980s, to compare notes about how they did cope and any effects physical or psychological they carry today.

Lobular Carcinoma Advocacy Group
I don't do a lot of googling about BC but every now and then I dip my toes into the general morass of information. Now, I may have come across this group before but, with my murky memory of last year, who knows?

Guilty pleasures
It's been an interesting week. Physically challenging, it's also been quite tricky emotionally. There have been confessions and difficult conversations. Moments of triumph and others of deep sadness. We tell each other to be kind to ourselves, but that isn't always easy. Today, on a whim, I went and had a relaxation…
