Secondary Cancer ???
Hello Some might say just don't think about it ... But as an Early Stage Breast Cancer Patient I often wonder and am curious as to WHY Secondary Cancers occur when chemo and further treatments are given to erradicate any chances of cancer reaccuring !!!! Just not fair that we go through a battle to do all the treatment…

Sorbolene controversy
I've triggered some questions about Sorbolene!! But I need to know what the best alternative is. Some of the suggestions have been Essential Pure Vit E, Sudocreme and Calendula. Can anyone verify a good alternative? I was lead to believe Sorbolene was fine so I need to have 'evidence' that an alternative is 'better'....…

Looking for confirmation that I am not alone.
Hi everyone, my first time on this website, not sure of what i'm doing. About to start chemo next week and i am so anxious and scared. Had to make a decision which treatment to have, talk about daunting! Decided to have FEC 100 as that seems to give me the best chance of this happening again. No guarantees given of course.…

Hit for six by lump!
I'm not sure how to feel at the moment - there doesn't seem to be a handy guide to emotional fallout just waiting for me! I had benign lumps in my twenties, eventually ended up with no boobs after kiddies and lumpectomies etc, so had implants. Regular two yearly mammograms - latest one last month always clear. Found lump…

Did I run over someone in a past life?
I think I am paying for some past life crime or something. I have been feeling unwell for the past week and even ended up in emergency again after my GP examined me last Thursday as she thought my right lung was 'quiet', supposedly should be noisy when listened to through a stethoscope, and I had a mild temp as well. I…

The merging of two worlds
Today I decided this student of learning would become the teacher. It is fortuitous that my third cycle of chemo falls during the school holidays. Many weeks ago, as my 17 year old son was feeling really down because only a couple of people had 'liked' his latest status on Facebook, I decided there and then that he was…

Stretch it out...
Light bulb moment number 2007896778 recurring... As I sit in a pretty dreary waiting room for a bone scan I'm thinking I would love to be stretching right now.. Couldn't we create a little yoga Matt style waiting room with Swiss balls ? I'm thinking we could knock obesity and stress on the head at the same time... Seems…
