recovery and life
It has been a week since my surgery for the lumpectomy and node removal. Funny enough, I was not nervous. I went into surgery calm and with the attitude - I am in good hands. Surgery took a bit longer because I found out today they got a rather nasty surprise.....the lump measured 8.5 cm or 85mm instead of the 2.5 cm they…

Telehealth follow up
Hi, I’m feeling pretty anxious about not being to visit my oncologist and radiologist in person for my first follow up appointments later this month. I completely understand why, but I’m just worried that it’s harder to see if things are ok, and to check for signs of cancer returning, over the phone. I thought that…

Friday Update From The Roller Coaster!
While I sit here at the top of my Roller Coaster, with my ear phones belting out Hot Chocolate's "You Sexy Thing", I thought I would update the week that was.... I have even handed over the Remote Control to the Hubby....He has been watching some monotonous toned show about some equally monotonously boring hypothetical…

Who’s heard of Kinetic Physiology to control pain?

(I am currently not in that much pain, due to…

Anyone else in limbo?
Hi guys, I’m sure many of you are in the same boat and wondering what you have been advised. I have had a lumpectomy on my right breast and had 5 months of dense dose chemo for a triple neg grade 3 cancer. I was supposed to start radiation treatment in early Jan, but my surgeon wanted to wait for my genetic test results so…

Covid19 and breast cancer
It's been two years since I had a baseline bone density scan (DEXA) and I had a date booked for my next one. They sent me a text message a couple of weeks ago to say it's has been indefinitely postponed due to Covid19. After finally working up the strength to sort out my revision and nipple surgery I was booked in for 24th…
