1st post - Thanks for being out there!

Hi Girls, My single mastectomy with expander was last Tuesday. Been out since Saturday and now wait for Thursday appointment with onco for HER2+ treatment. I just wanted you all to know how comforting it was to read your blog posts and comments whilst I was trying to come to terms with what had just happened to me. Thanks for being out there.

    Hi rivergum I saw you live in Ballarat. Lovely town. I recently moved from near there to Tassie. Small world :) I am now traveling from Launceston to Melbourne for my treatment. Recovery from mastectomy etc is going really well. We had a bit of a hiccup with an allergy I developed to the adhesive of the tapes. Onco appointment Thursday. Not sure how I'll go traveling with chemo and Herceptin, but I'll give it a go. Did you have an expander placed?

    Welcome to BCNA. You are doing well posting so soon after the op. How are you feeling? (I had mine Wednesday week ago, so getting there). :)

    Hope you are recovering well from your op. This network is very comforting isn't it? Lets us know we are not alone and helps us understand what's normal about what we are feeling. Best wishes for whatever treatment you need to have, take care,
