We chatted and she told me of this great website in the UK where you can get scarves. www.annabandana.co.uk These are ready to just pull on. You can do some tying on some if you want to. So easy! She had…

I'm new! Hello!
Hi, I'm new to this group, although my cancer is two years old. I just had my reconstruction, and it's been a bit of a saga, with more to come.

(well I tried to eat all the food). I spent the whole time trying to forget I am in the middle of cancer. It worked. I found I hadnt missed wine…
