Need some positive stories

Hi Lara,

Just had a read of your blog and am so pleased for the surgery result you have had.  I was diagnosed in September last year and because I had worked at the BreastScreen office in Perth a few years ago I was reasonably aware of what was going on.  I ended up with two surgeries because the first one didn't get the clearance required but thankfully my nodes pathology came back clear.  I completed 6 weeks of radiotherapy in April and I must say that apart from the odd bit of stiffness and a diagnosis of gastritis which has been connected to the radiotherapy, I am feeling pretty good.  Going to the last Perth Group get together and spending time chatting to the other ladies in the group has also given me a more positive outlook, so if you are in a position to come along to the next one on 24 August I can guarantee wonderful company.  Be positive and don't forget that there is plenty of support for you out there!
