out loud
Ive been reading everyones blogs and laughed and cried over everyones experiences with BC , chemo, radiation, baldness, nausea etc. As I am moments away from that reality I am pleased there is so many other women to share it with and get advice and support from. :)

That's great to hear. All the best for your treatment -- just take it one step at a time.
Hi Di, Yes! I have the my journey kit, i have read it cover to cover and found the diary helpful for my contacts and appointments.
Hi Melissa -- I'm glad you found your way here, and just wanted to let you know about the My Journey Kit if you haven't already received one. It contains information to help you with decision-making, but more importantly, has been developed with the input and reflections of many women who've been where you are now.
You can order it online and it will be sent to you free of charge: http://www.bcna.org.au/my-journey-kit.

Think you just hit the nail on the head Melissa. :) It's important to regain some control emotionally, having decissions made from our own selves is a major part of that I believe.
- You're right about so many women to share our ups and downs. I don't know what I would have been like if I hadn't joined this network. I was diagnosed 20th December last year so I'm nearly 1 year out now. But I didn't start posting until May this year. I wish I had started at the beginning of my journey. I think I could have been spared some very lonely times. Now all our beautiful Pink Sisters rally to our sides and it's just wonderful. They say a problem shared is a problem halved. I don't know about the physical aspects of BC but it certainly has proven true for the daily speed bumps we all go through along the way. As we who have walked in your shoes understand, we can hold your hand through the tough times to come. A great quote is "YOU NEVER KNOW HOW STRONG YOU ARE UNTIL BEING STRONG IS THE ONLY CHOICE YOU HAVE" Bob Marley. One day at a time :) Love Janey xxx

- True at least the decision has been entirely mine. It has given me some control over it.:)
