Happy Halloween Y'All
Hi all. Just thought I'd pop in and celebrate with everyone that today is my 8 yrs NED anniversary. Wow, where did the time go? This time 8 years ago I was where a lot of the newly diagnosed people are at the moment. A limbo land of fog and unknowing. In hospital after surgery with a million things running through my brain…

What pets do you have?
I am interested what pets every one has. I have two old Standard Schnauzers (one of which knew I had breast cancer but I fobbed his sniffing off as being a sticky beak at the time), a rosella called Arnie because he will rip your fingers off like Arnold Schwartzeneggar as quick as you like and he is the boss of us.

Baring all
News story about showing off the scars doesn’t consider the trauma of seeing this. There’s a lot of discussion about bringing breast cancer to the attention of the public. With one in seven women likely to experience this disease I’d think it was already noticed, without having women undress to show scars. Also some of us…

The breast care nurse I spoke to was very disparaging of them, saying there was no evidence they worked, which surprises me as they seem relatively common in better hospitals. She said the only option was to BYO frozen caps in an…
