Long time!
Hello lovely ladies...

Hi there,
I thought I'd introduce myself as I'm new to the group. I am a 47 year old mother of one, my son Ryan is 14. I live in Brisbane. Ryan's dad lives in Melbourne so I get very little time to myself, although now Ryan is getting older he is out and about a lot more without me. In fact, during my treatment he went to South Africa for three weeks with his dad, and then was away for two weeks in January at the Scout Jamboree and I missed him terribly. I wish I could have more frequent shorter breaks rather than the long ones. Pity he was away when I was in the middle of treatment too, if it had been the previous year I'd have taken the opportunity for a fantastic holiday myself!
I was diagnosed in July 2012 with invasive breast cancer, had a lumpectomy, then mastectomy, chemo and radiotherapy and just finished it all thank goodness! Now on the 5 years of Tamoxifen. I've met a few people during the whole experience but everyone seems to have a partner and they don't understand the issues faced by single parents which is why I thought I'd join up here.
Anyway, won't ramble on more now. Take care,
Claire
