New Group for young women, mums.

Glad to hear you're in good hands. It's a journey but it's a road well travelled sadly, so you are never alone. I actually have a medical background which did help me find my way through the labyrinth of drs and second opinions and helped to me manage my own treatment as no specialists ever talk to each other when one is nsw and the other is in Canberra. Absolute drama. I would say it's good to keep a record of what you are told and also what medications you are given in case you need to be given something else by a dr who doesn't know your history. I do wonder if it would have been easier just packing up and moving in with family in Sydney, but home is where I could really relax and where my 4 kids are. I know I would not have managed work during my chemo. It smashed me hard. It was hard enough getting kids to school and washing done. I hope you are one of those people that doesn't take such a hard hit if you have chemo. In saying that, once it was over, well 2 weeks after the last one (Xmas eve 2013) I felt pretty good considering. And now a year on, I am back running, have taken up swimming to assist with my lymphatic drainage issues and have snow skied all winter. :) This really is a great vessel to ask questions and just debrief in. Everyone has useful information to share. :) stay strong. Lisa
