New Group for young women, mums.

Hi Lee, I hope I qualify for this. I'm now 44, and it's been 14 months since diagnosis and surgery. Chemo finished Xmas eve 2013, radiation finished end feb 2014. I have four kids under 11. I'm not sure what I find most challenging? Keeping my kids lives normal is the hardest. I live in a rural area so my treatment has cost us massively in every way possible. $30000, 20000kms in my car plus fuel, reduced work for my husband to get me places...man I could go on. On a brighter note, I cannot remember how foul I felt during my 18 weeks of chemo or post mastectomy. I hope that means my focus is on the future? My current issue is that my implant, done straight after mastectomy has started to encapsulate. Side effects of radiation I wasn't having...but did. So now I have a lumpy, painful implant that apparently unless I pay for myself to have it changed, will annoy the crap out of me forever! Good grief. :) Lisa
