  • I am going really well.I am 2 months past my chemo,and I am taking Tamoxifen.My doctors mother,was diagnosed just after me,and she is 86.She had a mastectomy and is doing well.I think it doesn't discriminate in any way! Cheers Robyn.
  • My overall health ove rthe years has been good, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure were my main 2 concerns before this,never drank or smoked, raised 4 kids,,i am in the Armadale area and get treatment at cabrini..the doctors are really baffled as to why the chemo never affected me..I feel the older you are the less affect..How are you going overall? may i ask what stage as i am in stage3b NO, i think it means just to breast, i had my mastectomy..
