Hi, my name is Laura and I am 34 years old and have just been diagnosed with Breast Cancer for the 2nd time. I am hoping to communicate/meet people who are experiencing similar feelings and emotions ...
Hi (sorry, is it Sharon?) lol, i am guessing from your username :)
I live in Adelaide and have most of my life after moving from Melbourne. I will be having a partial mastectomy as the Cancer is confined (hopefully) in my milk duct, so my surgeon will go around a little and hopefully it hasn't gone outside that, which I will find out on Tuesday week. I will be going into surgery on Wednesday 30th May for day surgery, but will have to stay in overnight - I HATE HOSPITALS, but I think I will have a few visitors, so hoping the time will pass quickly. I have also had the genetic testing for the Braca 1 & 2 genens, but they came back negative and there is no family history of Breat Cancer at all..... this is really annoying and frustrating (to be polite) as the doctors cannot tell me why this has happened again. Don't get me wrong, I am not a "poor me" person at all, just one of those things that I would like to know, but am unable to get answers - oh well, nevermind.... I have no kids at all, but would absolutely LOVE to have them one day - I really can't wait. I have an extremely kind and gentle partner, Jason, whom we have been together for just over 6 months, so, once this nightmare is over with, hopefully will try and have some kids :)
Good luck with your appointments too, I do wish you well for them and it is great chatting with all of you lovely ladies
