Chemo and Radiation finished
I read with interest the discussions, rants etc that are put up for discussion and they make me realise how lucky I am with my journey so far. My cancer was found through a mammogram, and was deep so the doctors and nurses could not feel it. (How lucky was I, it could have been ages before I felt it.) I had a lumpectomy on…

Waiting
Hi ladies I hope you are all doing OK. I said I would let you all know how things were going. Well I went and seen a GP I use to go to and she said she wants me to go to a breast clinic at the gold coast. She thinks it could be a blocked milk duct but said discharge from one breast is strange. So she wants it checked and…

Odd behavior from dog
Hi everyone. I had breast cancer 5 years ago and am doing good now. Have just had my mamo and ultrasound and it was clear. Just wondering if anyone has had this behavior from their dog. Over the last couple of month, he keeps sniffing my left breast. At random times. Different outfits. Even though my last results came back…

To laugh or cry.........that is the question...HAHA!

Off to the Optometrist I go, Retinas are fine but in 7 months the sight in my right eye has deteriorated rapidly, she said…

What NOT to say to people affected with breast cancer
In 2013, a journalist called breast cancer the "sexy" cancer. What they meant is that breast cancer is a cause that people get behind in a big way compared to other cancers and diseases. Nevertheless, this is an extremely insensitive way to refer to breast cancer. As our members said, there's nothing sexy about cancer. The…

Breast care org replies were on the net . Many had experienced similar problems. I felt less scared . Went to breast care nurse at radiation clinic…
