Hi everyone. I'm just laying here late tonight thinking about what a shitty run we've all had. Life wasn't meant to be like this and I still have many miserable days just thinking about the life challenges I have had to face in the last nearly two years. On the upside, I have many beautiful shining days too looking at my two beautiful princesses, one of which had her own fight for her life before she was even born in to this world. Something no child should ever have to go through, both inside the womb and out. I'm not on here often, I'm more of a facebook girl. I would like you all to know There is a group called " surrounded by pink sisters (helping young women through cancer)". It is a closed group. And open to people all over the world! There are so many ladies that have been in our position. So anything you say on there will not be seen by your "friends list". Anyway, I was wondering if you get a chance, could we hear how your beautiful babies are going? Better still, see??? Can we put photos up? Love and light to you all xxxxxxx

    It's been two years now since my diagnosis. I was pregnant with twins at the time. I had my first surgery, lumpectomy and auxiliary node clearance when I was 29 weeks pregnant. Asher and Brynn are now two and thriving. They were born two months premature so I could begin chemotherapy. At the time of their delivery I also had my ovaries and fallopian tubes removed as my cancer was very hormone sensitive. My medical oncologist could not give me chemo with the twins in utero as the drugs I needed would cross the placenta barrier. Following chemo I had more surgery to clear the margin at the tumour site then had to move my young family to Townsville for 6 weeks of radiation. I take tamoxifen now and am doing well.
    I have recently completed my training as a community liasion with BCNA so I can promote breast cancer awareness and the BCNA resources in my rural community. I'm looking forward to connecting with other women who can relate to pregnancy and breast cancer and the complete shock and devastation that initial diagnosis brings but also the joy of being fortunate enough to have the biggest motivation for fighting the fight - our babies xoxoxo.
