It's not all Kylie
I'm new to the whole blogging thing so excuse my ineptness. I was diagnosed with IDC (invasive ductal carcinoma) in Nov 2009. My daughter was 19months old and I was still doing the night time breast feed. My daughter was a much loved addition to our lives as my husband and I had 7 miscarriages before Georgie's conception.…
