Lotus17

Hi this is my first BYO at blogging. I was diagnosed with BC while in Geelong for the birth of my grandchild. He arrived 14 April and I was diagnosed 24 April. It should have been the most exciting time of my life, instead i couldn't wait to get back home to Brisbane.  Things have moved really quickly since arriving home. I have had two operations; first to remove a 3cm tumor and lymph node then a second to remove a larger margin of tissue and to place a porta cath in situ for the chemo. The lymph node was.clear so that is great news. Now the wait to see the oncologist and plan the attack. Since my diagnosis I have been researching and gathering as much info as I can. I came across the BCNA on the day of my diagnosis and have been in awe of the stories and support. I am so encouraged and inspired by the women who blog and offer their words of wisdom & support I felt the need to put my story out there. I have good and bad days. I'm an incredibly positive person, mostly, except today when I found out my husband has been betraying me with other women on and off over the last 8 years Great timing eh. I'm fortunate to be blessed with great family and friends who will support me through this fight. Today's revelation has only made me all the more determined to be a survivor!!
