support groups

Hi all.

Round one of chemo under my belt and so far Im feeling pretty good. I met with the radiation oncologist today to discuss radio after chemo :(

If my treatment plan goes right I should be treatment free 4 day before christmas!!! YAY!

Im just posting to say how blessed Iam to have met so many wonderful people along this "journey". My local McGrath Breast Care Nurse has many young women in my area she sees. We are about to start our own young women's group at the local womens health centre. Iam so excited to have the opportunity to share the ups and downs with other local women in the same postition as me. As well as having another social commitment to attend ;)

A big thankyou to the McGrath foundation for helping women be informed and making the "journey" a little easier. xoxoxoxo
