Hello all the new people
I keep watch to see how the numbers are slowly growing and recall there were 17 when I first began here. I cant express enough how important it has been for me to reach out and meet people going through the same things, face to face. I love the Northern Cancer Support Centre, the staff and the warm environment that gives…

New to this.....
Hi, I'm new to all of this but thought it looked like a great support network of people all in the same boat! I am 32, have 2 young sons and was diagnosed on Jan 16th (my son's 7th birthday - great timing!). It's been a massive shock as there's no family history, I'm pretty young and have been feeling really healthy and…

New appreciations
Because I got so sick following surgery in October, my husband stopped work in the middle of November and was home until 6 January. Then he took me back with him to WA for 2 weeks. While he was home he made it clear to my children that I was not doing well and as I didn't appear to have the ability to say "no", he was…

Unease
Hi my Pink Sisters, I have been a bit distracted lately and haven't gotten to reply to a lot of your posts for which I'm sorry. I have read them all though and wish you all well. Coming out of the other side of BC is quite a surreal feeling. You are through the worst and you can breath again and feel like things are…

I'm back - Happy, Refreshed and Nervous!
Ok , I haven't been on here in a while as I've been in Kempsey, NSW, on a surprise visit to my nan...I knew she didn't believe me when I was telling her I was ok, so I thought I'd best get up there and show her! Thankfully I didn't bring on a heart attack, had a lovely week catching up with her and the other rellos,…

Self conscious about wig
Hi, went to the cancer council wig library 2 days ago with my bestie and my partner. Found a nice wig that I and my 2 support people really liked. Was so excited, so much so that my partner said that was the happiest he'd seen me in ages. Decided to go out for lunch yesterday and wear it in public for first time. When I…

Newbie
Hi ladies, I've been lurking on this form for a few weeks now and reading lots of posts. What a group of amazing women you are. I'm 39, two kids (4yo & 20mo) and was diagnosed with TNBC on 12 December 2013. Lump was in my right breast, but I elected to have a bilateral masectomy on 19 December 2013. 16 nodes taken, and all…
