Coffee in Ipswich
Hi everyone, my name is Kerry and I am 70 years old. I was diagnosed with DCIS in May 2022. I’m currently wanting to find anyone interested in having a coffee and have a chat. Willing to travel if not...

Hi arpie
yes I finished active treatment the end of last year but my first mammogram in april showed something and I waited four months to find out if I needed a mastectomy after a lumpectomy, luckily I didnt. I had chemo and then RADs the end of last year. Got through chemo all right but radiotherapy was horrendous mainly because where I had it were positively horrible and am still having nightmares. When I was diagnosed I was determined to get through it well with my sense of humour intact but this lasted only untill my first appointment at radiotherapy. Did I get a dud lot or are they all like this.
Anyway I thought a cuppa and chat would help. I live near Ipswich which for anyone who doesn't know is 45 mins west of Brisbane. I have three children and three grandchildren and three greatgrandchildren and seem to have spent my life looking after kids although I did work most of my life too.
I have been reading posts for a few months and decided to put my first post on last week because I cant find a face to face group around here that lasts very long. Will post a picture of my fur friend as soon as I work out how, he is a minature poodle.
Hoping to talk again soon thank you arpie.
