Hi Rowie and girls

Thanks for the tip about the deodorant Rowie I will see if I can find it in the Pharmacies over here.  I am in Perth at present and originally from Perth but have been living just south of Geraldton for last 3 years on the coast.  I am just down in Perth for the surgery plus scans and post op appt then I think I will be returning home and do the chemo in Geraldton (that is the plan anyway at present).

I have been told that Bio Oil is very good for scars??? Anyone know of this and if it is good??

The home nurse came today to discharge me after having drain removed but it is all quite swollen so going to go in to the breast centre and get it drained.

I am definitey not looking forward to having to go through chemo with the sickness and hair loss down the track but I have survived two lots of surgery and scans and a drain so I will just get ready for the next step........

Thanks for the advice so far and it is wonderful to have this support available as near as the internet.

Take care and LOL
