Hello lovely @Ro10, thank you for sharing your story. I'm sorry to have met you through these channels (it's the 'club' you don't really want to join but I'm so glad we have met!) and I want you to know that you're definitely not alone. BCNA and all of the amazing women on here are incredibly supportive and have some fantastic advice and guidance which greatly helped when I was diagnosed. I was also 34 years old when I was diagnosed and my daughters were aged 2 and 5. I am very happy and excited to let you know that I just celebrated 5 years cancer free. I hope this gives you some hope :)
I kept a blog of my journey and am happy to share this with you in case you would like to read it but I completely understand that reading a blog isn't everyone's cup of tea ;) http://emmataylorsjourney.blogspot.com.au/2011/06/not-what-i-was-expecting.html
In relation to head scarves, I found a fantastic company located over in the USA and they ship to Australia (hallelujah!!). Here is a link for you to check out - https://www.headcovers.com/scarves/
I ordered lots of bright and fun scarves which help me feel young and feminine.
I hope some of this information helps.
Take care,
Emma
