Hey Autore & Dana,
Just joined the site a few days ago and found this thread. I too have had to return home - I've been traveling and living abroad for a long time now. Was about to start a fabulous directing gig in the US, and post-grad study on a full scholarship. C'est la guerre.
It all happened so quick. Found a lump while in Hawaii, and by the surgery date 4 weeks later in Adelaide, it was 7cmx4cmx3cm so off with my breast!
My prognosis is triple negative BC, stage 3. Mastectomy/Lymph Node removal completed 5 weeks ago.
Chemo commences in coming weeks, then radiotherapy, second mastectomy, and reconstruction. Guess I'm home for a while. And have moved home with my sis' and Mum. Fabulous and tough all at once ;-)
Mum had it, sis' had her breasts removed the day of my prognosis, and Dad's heritage is from unknown providence, so looks like I'll be getting the genetic testing.
Hope your ovarian surgery was okay, Autore and the hair and eyelashes have now grown back for you both. Guess mine will be gone in 3 weeks and counting. Got it cut in advance to lessen the shock.
All the best,
Karen.
