4 weeks today!

Well here goes for my very first post!  4 weeks ago today I underwent a mastectomy and I'm feeling fine!!!  In fact, I tried on my Berlei bra for the first time this morning and felt that I looked back to normal, whatever that is.....I received my first copy of The Beacon today and identified with so much in it.  I feel so supported in my journey and am comforted in knowing so many of us have gone through or are having the same experience.

    Welcome to the online network.This place is the best,for support and general advice,24/7.I am one year past my mastectomy and chemo,and I feel better than I ever have.I look back now,and can see this past year as just a hurdle in life's journey.Not many people get through life unscathed in some way.I feel very fortunate to be so well again,but with all the wonderful treatment available to us in this country,most ladies go on to live long healthy lives.Keep in touch,as new ladies coming along will love to read a post as,positive as yours.CheersxoxRobyn

    Hi Hazel Thanks for the welcome! I have just started chemo - one down with five sessions to go. So far it hasn't been too bad although tiredness and mild nausea are a part of daily life!!

    Well done on your first blog. I'm so pleased you are feeling fine. The beacon has many articles that we can identify with, it's good to know we are not alone during this experience. Is there any further treatment planned for you? Stay in touch and let us know how you are going. Take care,
