How do you go back to normal?
I have had a whirlwhind of a journey over the past 6weeks. Found a lump, did all the testing, had stage 2 IDC, HR+, left breast removed, direct to implant done while having breast removed. 5 active tumors were found and 4 lymph nodes removed. A week post surgery, I get my results- all clear. there is no cancer and no chemo or radiation is required. I am relieved but now just confused. How do you go on with normal life? I will start Hormone Therapy in a few weeks but it's such a weird feeling knowing that I am all ok. Please don't get me wrong that I am relieved but it's taking a while to process. Anyone else feel the same?57ViewsSign in to react to this post2Comments

Crop tops
Hi everyone I’ve had a double mastectomy and I’m looking for suggestions on crop tops to wear without any type of cup…..just plain crop tops to wear under my clothing to hide the scaring. all the ones I’ve found have some form of cup or padding inside including at Kmart. i haven’t found prosthetics to be comfortable so am going flat and proud but would like some form of top under my clothes. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks PipViewsSign in to react to this postCommentNatural & complementary therapies
Hi BC friends I love natural therapies. Complementary therapies. not the weird & whacky ‘cures’ that are out there, but those that support my body & soul through this journey with cancer. even food as medicine. alongside the treatment that is suggested by Drs. anyone else interested in this kind of thing? 🌿ViewsSign in to react to this postComments
Cellulitis
Me again :) So I’ve had some pain under my Cancer boobie like blind pimple pain but twice as bad as I couldn’t wear a bra...I had a doctors appointment this afternoon as I was getting dressed I noticed the redness had now covered 3/4 of my boob. Anyway doctor tells me it’s cellulitis...the infection started in the area I got burnt from radiation but cleared up by first week of January...has anyone ever experienced this? I have started antibiotics more tablets to take :( thank you NellieViewsSign in to react to this postCommentsa bit bummed

Hello
Hi all! It has been quite some time since I have frequented the BCNA online forum. I was an avid contributor when I was going through diagnosis and treatment. Just wanted to come on and say Hello and let others know that are starting out that as time goes on and you take on treatment a routine starts and eventually you can start to see brighter days. Me, along with others are living proof that life takes on a lighter, brighter side once the trauma of diagnosis and treatment settles and you can focus on getting through it and hopefully better for it. It is evolving! Fatigue is one to watch for and understand as it really takes it out of you but eventually a new normal evolves! The Kylie Minogue documentary that Kristen has so eloquently spoken of shows there's light at the end of it all.
