The pathology result down graded the cancer from 2 to 1 and lymph nodes were not affected. So some good news in a not so good situation. Everyone around me has been so supportive and…

Ideas please
i have a friend who is newly diagnosed. Money is tight for her so a couple of friends are getting together to make up a care basket, with such things as beanies, moisturiser, diary and of course the all important thermometer. Any ideas that we could add would be appreciated.

Waiting for my oncologist appointment is doing my head in
My GP sent me for an ultrasound after I had an appointment to get lumps in my armpit checked out. The ultrasound was on 14/6 and 4 smaller lumps were found and a total of 2 larger near my armpit. I was asked to come back for a biopsy and mammogram. Interestingly the mammogram was completely fine - no evidence of anything.…

What I wish I had understood 4 months ago.
I wish I had trusted that I would get knocked down but I would get up again. That my fears of chemo were real but exaggerated. Yes AC was tough but Paclitaxel less so. That I should just listen to my body and rest. Woolies online shopping was a godsend when energy was low. Have a project: I'm a family history nut and…
