Hi @Fernweh, I live in Brisbane (northside) so if you want a local and virtual contact please feel free to email me. You can do that via my profile and the email icon. I was a private patient too.
I was diagnosed in 2020 during lockdown. Aggressive cancer cells grade 3 but early breast cancer. I had a lumpectomy and wide lobal excision. 2 lymph removed, 4 months chemo, radium and now tamoxifen. I also have the brca gene test but it was negative. It sure is a ride and so overwhelming but a treatment plan helps and once treatment starts it feels a bit better because something is happening.
In April I will be 2 yrs from diagnosis. I am well and managing but I get a bit tired and a bit of brain fog on occasion.
So good you reached out on this site. Everyone is helpful and so supportive. There is a group who meet at Strathpine but most were 10yrs on and don't really talk about breast cancer and they were also much older than yourself but they were nice ladies. There is a young womens group in here too so you may want to join that.
Good luck and please contact if you want to chat.
