Hi and Merry Christmas @Sister . Each day it gets a little better - yes there are frustrations/ worries and tears occasionally but one foot after the other , occasional back pedal and some walking on the spot - you will get there but yes life will be different from here on - not so much physically but how you view the world. Glad you are home where you heal best with your family and friends. I too am an Adelaide hillbilly . Just thought I’d let you know as well as the wonderful women on this blog there is also a local one on Facebook called the Adelaide Breast Cancer Friendship Group Chat Room plus there are local support groups at Mt Barker and Stirling that may be of interest .
