Bundy Pam's Experience
Hi Everyone,
So here is my story, summarised as much as possible.
Im 7 months pregnant and find a lump, Do US Dr tells me its an abscess, I request fna even though the Dr said its not needed and 1 week later I am advised by a completely distraut Dr that I have Breast Cancer.
I then go on to meet a wonderful team of Drs who arrange themselves around two hospitals and in the following months in this order I have, a lumpectormy & Wide exc, Induced pregnancy to health baby boy, Chemo and Raio. At this stage we decide a move is as good as holiday and go interstate. I start working everything is peachy, three months later I have a strange headache and discover there is a tumor the size of a golf ball on my cerebellum so more great Drs a Craneotomy and radiothereapy again and life is looking good again. Fast forward a few years, medicine changes and a oopherectomy (which was requested and argued till blue for myself) and here I am living by the beach two beautiful children, wonderful partner family and friends, working 10 mins from home and the blasted cancer is moving again and has set up house in my lungs.
So at 32 I started Chemo again (Docetaxel, Pertuzumab & Pertuzumab) and am feeling a little sorry for myself. So thanks for letting me rant.
xxxooo Bundy Pam

Hi Bundy Pam
Holly Molly............sorry
Did you have gene issue brought down from generations of the family or do you noticed that maybe the living or diet habit causing such an issues,did u came across stress and tense most of the time?
I know sometimes things can't explain but....I have the annual check with Mammogram, O/sound and MRI due to dense breast. My problem right breast were all good and clear, today the doctor told me finding something from my left... what ? I said what do u mean I dont understand.
Something there, it didn't shown up from o/sound but from MRI, quite sure not cancer but suggest to go for a biopsy.
Cancer free but recommend a biopsy, what's that mean....I talked to myself secretly that if it came back to me, I won't "treat" it anymore. I just leave the way as it is.
Don't like the feeling....don't like the curing or recovery procedures, don't like people comment.
You are young and strong and had motivation from the 2 little one. You'll recover quick as well.
Stay all the best and take care

Hi Rosanna,
As far as genes go I am the only person we know of in the family with Breast Cancer.
As far as recovery goes I know I will be ok I am to stubborn to let it get me down but like you I get a little annoyed with people and find my self either being treated like a lepper or counceling others over the fact that I have cancer. Thank god I have a morbid sense of humour otherwise I think I would go mad.
I wish you all the best with your journey what ever you choose.
xx Pam

Dear Bundy Pam, what a truly shocking time you have been through. Your strength and good humour is amazing.
I was having my own little pity party when I came across your post and I must say it certainly kicked me back into gear. You are truly an inspiration!
Wishing all the best. Lynne xx0 -
You have every right to feel sorry for yourself. You have been in the wars, you must have amazing strength. Keep up the fight, big cyber hugs to you, and rant whenever you feel the need,
