It's a Goer/Fitter
Hi girls, I'm really excited - I got the pink tutu to fit. Where there's a will there's a way. Instead of pulling it up - it now goes over the head minus the gusset. What fun to put all the tuille back in place. I had a "trial" - tutu, pink wig, pink tights (all bright pink) and ballet shoes. Of course the BCNA vest and…

The Start of my Journey
March 15th 2010. This date I will never forget. This is the day that I had my very first mammogram and Ultra sound, leaving the surgery with the technician saying, I'm sorry I have found numerous masses. I got to my car, and cried. "I knew then, that I had cancer" This was not a shock. Deep down I thought I did. I had a…

Here is my story...... I found a lump and went to my GP, she said "wow that is big" (not real reassuring) and thought I should have a mammo and biopsy. As this can not be done in the town where I live, she referred me to Townsville. I am still at this stage thinking it is nothing to worry about, but should get it checked…

Looking back
The op for lumpectomy was pretty reasonable - except it had to be done twice. The margins were not clear first time so back I went for a second time. Healed up well.
