to work or not to work
I've recently had a 3cm lump removed. It was all clear around the lump, but there were minute traces in the sentinal node, but nothing in the next two nodes. It is hormone related in the ducts and at some stage I will be having radiation and going on hormone blockers, which I have no problem with. However my oncologist has…

Count down to surgery
I’ve always looked forward to new adventures and or changes in my life. How do I prepare for coming home knowing I’ll be missing a part of me? I’m a size 18 mother of a 5 year old son and am loved by my fiancé for who I am. I’m worried how this might change me.

Cotton caps, crochet beanies free
I have some caps (one is bamboo cotton and very soft to wear) and crochet beanies to give away. I used them myself in 2018 when I had TC chemo. It’d be good to know they’re useful to someone else rather than sitting at the back of my drawer. Let me know if you’re interested. Take care everyone xx

I was so relieved to learn that the cancer hasn't spread to my lymph nodes, I cried when the surgeon told me!
