The journey begins...
So glad I found this network... I was diagnosed on Tuesday and will be meeting with the surgeon next Thursday. The physicians, technicians and staff at the Sydney Breast Clinic have been very supportive, and confident of a good outcome. Seems a bit like it's happening to someone else... blessed by my precious husband. 😍
