Hi from a newbie
Hi, I’m Helen and part one of my journey has flown by. Last year was a difficult year personally, so this year I decided it was time for ‘rebuilding’ - on my list was to go and have my first mammogram...

Yes! I have done a few of the LGFB program (virtual)! it's extremely useful, Helen!
One of the session on hair help me with deciding when to cut when and how much hair to cut to reduce the emotional stress. I have shaved my hair now as cold capping wouldn't work on me (cause of the chemo drugs I'm on).
some of the LGFB sessions are popular so try to book earlier if you are interested.
I am in Melbourne and I have also signed up for 'Think Pink' , joining virtual sessions on plilates and yoga.. maybe you can check if there are similar groups in Perth.. good to try and do more exercises without leaving the house as Melbourne's weather is very temperamental.☀️⚡️⛅️
With LGFB, You can also sign up for the 'goody bag', they throw in so many skin care products and make up as well in the goody bag(not that i am into makeup).
My chemo (AC) is considered one of the more aggressive one, so am not having much fun but coping well (esp with the tips I have been getting from here, you may find some will share tips by direct messaging you (there is a mail located on top right under your profile), i only found out later..
Chemo was initially a maybe on my menu, but when my surgeon opened me up, the tumor was doubled what the ultrasound stated. He said he wanted me to live longer so advice me to add chemo to my meal and I agreed(I'm 58)🤣.
keep us posted on how you go, I'll pray you'll get the less aggressive chemo and have a smooth one.💝
p.s. so sweet to pass the snoopy to your daughter!🤗
