Thank you so much for your comments. The whole Cancer treatment is so confusing, the decisions you have to make that is. I am surrounded by lots of loving people, but it does not seem to help. I take heart in hearing from people who have been through it.
I have met a lot of people in my area, Nerang Qld. who are just starting to go through Chemo and try to give encouraging words.

Scars can't be helped but a shirt that doesn't sit right annoys the hell out of me.
I would like to hear from anyone who has had reconstruction, how long you are out of action and what I should ask or look for. Again thank you for your comments and much love xxx to you Janey and Chris
