New to BCNA, sadly not new to cancer.

I can highly recommend Peter Mac. All the staff from the tea lady in the Chemo Unit to the breast surgeon, Professor Michael Henderson, have been absolutely wonderful. How awful that you have to move right in the middle of chemo. As well as your family, I hope you have some nice friends who will help you pack everything up. Your 2014 sounds like my 2013. Crazy! I had lumpectomy and 2 sentinel nodes removed. My two cancers were successfully removed with clear margins and the nodes were also clear. But I had extension DCIS (pre cancer cells) left abutting the margins in my left breast and so I needed 6 months of chemo then mastectomy. I decided on having my right breast removed as well and immediate reconstruction of both. I also avoided radiation. So although I'm still having three weekly Herceptin treatments and I'll need further surgery, I'm glad 2013 is behind me now. Peta if you feel up to it anytime, I'm organising a group of a Melbourne ladies to meet informally once a month in the new year. I met with three ladies from this network just prior to Christmas and I found it was fantastic to actually talk face to face. We talked and talked, laughed and compared notes so to speak. There are five ladies interested so far so it will be a nice intimate little group. We will meet in the city area. I entirely understand if you're not ready for this though. Just thought I'd let you know. Janey xxx
