Is it ‘have’ or ‘had’ breast cancer?
Im newly diagnosed and waiting on the results of an MRI before my surgeon finalises my plan going forward. As it stands now, I’ll be having a lumpectomy, followed by radiotherapy and then hormone the...

I recall seeing something early on about support for fuel expenses, which I’ve just realised was only two weeks ago 😁. Thank you for the link.
You are sooo lucky living in that part of the world. Over the years, we’ve had many a family holiday up your way but they’ve been very rare in the last ten years or so. Hopefully, we’ll get the chance to head your way once all of this is behind us and we can meet up for that coffee AND CAKE! 😄💕
Sounds wonderful xxx. I'm not long back from a road trip to Victoria where I caught up for lunch with a fellow member in Bendigo! ;) xx
It is a magic part of the world xx I love my back yard xx. I'll be out in my kayak, fishing again tomorrow .... it is my 'safe spot' - hence I advise everyone to keep doing what they LOVE doing as often as they can - as it really does lower the stress levels xx.
I was even on the water the day I got the call to go back to the GP (for my BC diagnosis!)
This forum has also given me some lifelong friends & we chat all the time about all things - on any subject! 😋
That’s wonderful! I used to love kayaking as a teenager but very rarely got the chance. If I lived up there, I would be out there with you for sure. 🌞
I started painting in watercolours about 5 years ago and I find that very calming. I’m lucky to have a spare bedroom that I have set up as my art studio and my desk is facing the window to our front garden. We planted it all with native plants and I get to watch the huge variety of birds every day when they come to feed. It’s very special but I’m sure your kayaking encounters would include much bigger companions than I have. 😄 🐳
Its so lovely having this much companionship along this horrid journey that we’re all on. It truly means a lot. x
SYLV1E ... My kayak has pedals, and I use it for kayak fishing! :) It really is my passion! Let's see if we can get you up here & on the water when you are able xx
I'd love to see your water colours too xx I don't have an artistic bone in my body - but my husband was a natural artist and did some wonderful art works xx
I am not a gardener, but thru my association with buddies here, I now grow Gazanias (that I gathered in Vic!!) and Desert Roses (that I learned how to grow from a BCNA best buddy in WA ..... (and I am NOT a gardener by ANY stretch of the imagination!!)
Interesting that your breast MRI was on your tummy! As my radiation was too!! I've never considered myself 'over endowed' .... I was always a 34" ..... but as I stopped wearing a bra in my 20s (I hated the tightness) maybe they 'stretched' a bit! LOL. So ... they had me facing downwards for my rads!
Looking forward to catching up somewhere, sometime ;)
Take care xxWhen I rang to book the appointment they asked if my cup size was bigger than a H!
HELL NO! 🤣
I hadn’t considered that they would do the radiation that way too so thanks for the heads-up. 🤦🏻♀️
I haven’t even got a surgery date yet. Im hoping to hear something tomorrow as I just want to get started.With my watercolours, I do all sorts of different styles. The icon near my name is one of my paintings if you can get a decent look at it. I believe there’s a section on here for us to share our different hobbies so I’ll have to and explore that section one day and post some of my favourite paintings.
I’d love to see some of your husbands artworks too.
Im not big on gardening these days. We replanted the garden with natives as they’re not high maintenance but the number of feathered friends has exceeded my expectations.
Hoping to meet up one day but until then, it’s great being able to talk to you on here.
Wishing you all the best. xo
