Just an observation:)
Hello ladies, was just doing some thinking today, you know how it is. All of my family and friends have been so supportive since I was diagnosed with BC. There have been a couple of friends, not perhaps bosum buddies, but friends who have distanced themselves from me. I'm ok with that, sometimes people don't know what to…

It's tightly woven and has a scarf woven through the band, which you can take out and change, I thought it was really versatile and good to mix & match the scarves for summer. And, for only $15.00, what a…

Perth lymphodema physio.
Hi ladies, I need some advise please. I have developed a lot of swelling of my right arm, which is my BC side. This obviously is due to my 2 fractures of the upper arm, and the associated soft tissue injury and the bruising from the break. I am worried about permanent lymphodema as a result, and wonder if any Perth ladies…

2 down, 4 to go
Hi ladies, again, I need to vent. Went to the hospital for 3 appointments yesterday. 8am for my picc to be inserted, had to be there at 7am. All went well and picc was in at 8.30am. Didn't hurt as much as I had anticipated. Had to kill 3 hours as my oncologist app was 11.40, she was running late, finished in her office at…

Looking good, feeling better:)
Hey Ladies, went to the LGFB workshop today at the Wesley Hospital in Brissie, and it was wonderful. I was pretty nervous going in as I'm not very confident with make-up. Not really confident with much actually. First up, I was offered a cup of tea and a biscuit (the greatest thing to break the ice). I had my companion…

Perjeta
My Niece has recently been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. She starts on Perjeta today, but because it is not on the PBS she will have to contribute $13,000, she is a Public Patient. I'm shocked! Why is this drug not on the PBS???

Thank you for including me. :)
Hello everyone. :) This is all very new and I'm feeling a bit lost and overwhelmed. I am 43 and have three children (8, 6 & 3). I have had multiple fibroadenomas for many years, the first diagnosed when I was around 17/18. Most of those reduced in size during my pregnancies and breast feeding. A new one popped up last year…
