Hi Cosette
i'm Karen. I am very soon to be 52 years old. I am married with a 22 year old and a 20 year old sons that still live at home. We live in Lilydale, Melbourne. I also have an "adopted" 21 year old daughter and an 8 week old grandson who live in Qld. Until last week when we lost our lovely old dog (he was nearly 17) we also had our two dogs. Now sadly, just the one dog, Pepper. I work part time in an office doing accounts these days. I was diagnosed 23/04/14 with grade 3 idc her2+ hormone negative. I had 3 tumours. I've had a lumpectomy, 6 months of chemo, 33 radiotherapy sessions and 12 months of herceptin. I am currently 9 months post treatment. I enjoy baking, gardening and being with my family and friends. To be honest, I'm not sure what my hidden talent is. I still contribute on the forum as I received such wonderful support from the other members and I feel it is important to give back. Karen.
