Hi @Suzie82
Sorry to see you here. All the advice the ladies have given is great. It's wonderful you have your son to help and support you. I wish you all the best with your treatment sending you a hug.
If you are in Melbourne Peter Mac public hospital has a wig library you can borrow a wig from. Social workers from hospital can help you. Do check in with centrelink and make an appointment to chat with a staff member.
I was diagnosed with BC in March 2020. Husband and I both lost our jobs due to covid in March and April 2020. I had a lumpectomy. Lump removed was 52mm and 4 nodes. All 4 nodes were cancerous. Then I had a mastectomy with 9 more nodes removed. Total of 9 nodes were cancerous. I had an aggressive treatment plan. I have had 6 months of chemo and I start radiation this week. I found I just took one day at a time. Rested when my body told me too. Walked on the days I could and learnt not to beat myself up if I couldnt do any more. Need to heal.
Stay in touch with everyone online. Having a safe place to chat, ask questions or even just to read others stories saved me a lot of tears and grief. xxxx
