Hi SJ, welcome, I'm new too,54 and studying a bachelor of Media Arts & Production at UC Brisbane campus. I go the the Mater Hospital.
My first oncologist appointment is tomorrow when I find out what my treatment will be. I'm triple negative and don't yet know what stage, although it is in the lymph nodes. I'm told I'll have chemo then surgery and finally radiation.
Friends will come and go, which I found out 15 years ago when I had ovarian cancer. This time round I'm much more open about my cancer. Social media , the internet and mobile phones have been a blessing in keeping me not so isolated this time around.
I wish you all the best with your treatment and now you've joined this forum, don't feel so lonely.
