Hi there,
It has been a while since I have been on here, and recent birthday wishes from familiar names made me realise you all deserve an update!
For those who don't recognise my user name I'll recap:
I am a Radiation therapist from Hobart who in 2017 at 31 was diagnosed with a 7cm Her2+ IDC in my left breast, at the time I had a 2 year old. Well with 6 months of chemo, 12 months herceptin, a lumpectomy and DIBH Radiation I was given the all clear. I found this forum invaluable during treatment with all the knowledge and understanding from its members. I hope too that I contributed for others. I pulled away from the forum in order to get back to normality and as you will read, I got busy.
Fast forward to now and my then 2yo is a 5yo in Prep with a love of ballet and rythmic gymnastics with a spirit and attitude to rival my own! I returned to work full time after a while and finally achieved the promotion I had been long working towards, I am now the permanent Radiation Therapy Clinical Tutor. Also with the help of IVF from the embryos created pre chemo we have completed our family with the addition of a baby girl in Feb this year.
I promise to check in every so often and I hope those members who I encountered during my treatment are doing well xxx

Go you good thing. I sometimes wonder what has happened to members that have dropped off the radar and the best possible reason is that they are too damn busy getting on with their lives. MXx5
