Hi Ladies,
I've Just recently been diagnosed with Breast Cancer, & Friday I had Surgery at the Calvary John James Hospital in Canberra, a mastectomy. Probably one of the scariest moments of my life...
Hi Deirdre, So lovely to hear from you, Hope all is going well for you. Well it certainly hasnt been an easy ride but I've finished the chemo & due to start the Radiotherapy & have ongoing Hercepton. There is a support group in Canberra, Bussom Buddies but haven't really been well enough to go to any of there coffee groups, went once. One lady contacts me occasionally & she is lovely but she has her own problems, her husband is also unwell, having sezuires & I know what that is like suffering from Epilepsey myself. So living in Canberra has been very hard with no family & not many friends. Also coming here wasn't giving me what I wanted, I felt very alone so I turned to FB & I made a few friends that also had BC. Unfortunatly it was a bit of a shaky start, one of my friends passed away so that was very sad. Anyway to cut a long story short, a private group was formed by one of the friends because she didn't have any support groups in her area. It has members from all around the world & is just so popular, we talk about every thing. Everyday women are joining & this group is growing. If you would like to join or know of any one please let me know, it's a great group, with lots of information . Thanks again, it was so lovely to hear from you XOXOXOX
