I'm Bobbie, and have been in Melbourne (St Kilda) for around 7 years. Love it here, would never live anywhere else unless it was somewhere overseas :-)
I found my cancer on my 32nd birthday (21st September) then was diagnosed on 1st November. Grade 3 Triple Negative. Lumpectomy on 6th November (my mum's 60th birthday) and thank god it was clear margins & nodes.
I'm now half way through my chemo adventure, due to finish on 18th March, all going well (not that I'm counting!) and I'm going to be having radiation also, not sure yet of the schedule for this. I've been tested for BRCA 1 & 2, don't have the results yet, and this will dictate any future surgery. Trying not to think about that too much just yet!
Apart from all that stuff, I love travelling and have a soft spot for Asia, having been an exchange studentfor 12 months in Thailand when I was 16. In October I'm heading to New Delhi then travelling across to Kathmandu over 2 weeks, it will be a little congratulatory present!
I'm not working, but am extremely keen to get back to work ASAP, I was working at Dept. of Immigration before all this and enjoyed it immensely. I also have a keen interest in photography, the arts and live music, millinery and playing dress ups in general!
Looking forward to reading more about the other Melbournites!
