MOVED TO SYDNEY
Hello Sydney ladies! I have just moved to Sydney and about to begin new job. At the end of last year there was a mad rush to see my 2 specialists to get the ok to have my Infusion Port removed from chest. I was awake when they removed it, and it was pain free and fast. I also have the information in my envelope to give to the next Doctor. I am 2 years past diagnosis and they said they still monitor for 3 years very consistently.
I didnt admit to any one I had had Cancer of course when going for an interview.
I am managing to handle everything, mindful of my right arm, but seriously I have had to work just as hard as ever with a big shift like this one.
The only surprise for me is that out of the blue, my period has started with the back ache and discomforts associated with, a year after I thought it was all finished. I am not on any medication, as I had a triple negative diagnosis.
Is there any one who can recommend a great GP in the North/West Rouse Hill area?
So far, all is ok.
Cheers from Bel!

I am a Pharmacy Assistant. When I had three jobs to choose from, I certainly didnt say "Oh and by the way, I have had Breast Cancer". I felt I would get a look in. One job was very detailed about asking questions about health, history of health, and what medications I were on. I did get that job, they interviewed for an hour, in the end I declined that one. Always felt bad for not admitting when asked up from. One company, we assumed I would get into, because of family contacts, who knew I had had cancer, were not interested in meeting me. The two I walked into and handed over my Resume and presented myself, literally turned it into a tug of war, decision was hard - until I was assured by a past employer of the best job to take. So I am going to keep my BC experience very secret now I am here in Sydney. I dont want it to spoil any opportunities and keep my fingers crossed. We certainly need the income. Cheers Donna, what are your thoughts on keeping quiet about our health issues?

Tell me about your new job, what will you be doing etc.
Good luck with finding a good GP, I am sure one of the ladies will be able to assist. I am in Sydney lots for work, maybe on one of my trips we can catch up for coffee.
Is it good news on the period front, I am not so sure about that but the indicator is that your body is returning tonormal and that has to be good.
My hair isfinally going straight again, crazy how long I have had the chemo curl going. LOL
So good to see you online again.
cheers
