Breast cancer - 2nd time around

Hi Kirsten

I am so glad you appreciated the video.   My sister took the photos which I am very grateful for.   I am in the process of compiling the next video covering my second mastectomy and double reconstruction so stay tuned!

Kind regards

Hi chemostyle

Thanks for your post.   It is so true, what we think is a big problem can very often be lessened by a few simple words of wisdom from someone outside our immediate square.   Stay well.

Hi Sam

Thanks for your post.   I think having a positive attitude is half the battle.   You sound like you're in a pretty good head space yourself which is great.   Take care and stay well.

I'm so glad I was able to put a smile on your face, now you have made my day!   I too wondered about my pending hair loss as many suggested it could be a problem for me.   I decided I had enough ahead of me without this being a problem, so if I was going to have an issue I wanted to address it before I went into chemo - I had my head shaved!   For me, it was the best thing I could have done.

If you are up to it and in the right head space, consider inviting family and friends around and ask everyone to sponsor you shaving your hair!   Do you know someone who would do it for you?   You never know, your girls may even want to do it, you can always get it fine tuned at the hairdressers the next day.   It will be a lighter environment for not only you but your family and friends.   And remember - it's only temporary, hair grows back!

Thank you - I was sitting here contemplating pending loss of my hair and I looked at your slideshow and your eyes sparkle and your smile shines - regardless - just what I needed today.  Thank you.  

I'm now going to pick my girls up from school, with a bright happy smile on my face because I'm here and this bloody stuff is going to keep me here. :-)

Thank you for Sharing your journey!

and I learn a new saying today : " a problem shared is a problem halved!"

You look Fabulous Kath!
