The waiting game...
Hi everyone, I'm currently on a bit of a waiting game so thought I'd introduce myself as I'm new to this club that none of us wanted to be a part of! I was diagnosed with "locally advanced multicentric left breast carcinoma" on my 46th birthday a couple of weeks ago. It was quite a shock as I'm super healthy and have zero…

Starting Chemo
Hi everyone Well my journey started in April with diagnosis of breast cancer. Since then I've had the surgery, the pet scan, an ECG and blood work done. I start Chemo on Wednesday with Doxorubicin and Cyclophosphamide. My lump was Grade 3 so my Oncologist has recommended a 5 month journey on Chemo. I'm nervous as I'm sure…
