An In Depth article on BC Recurrence - what to look for - well worth a read

I am SO sorry to hear of your diagnosis, @odette - you'll be in a total spin, which is totally normal - as is anger and sadness - so please ring our helpline on 1800500258 (Mon-Fri) to have a chat if you feel really anxious ....

Please feel free to fill us in with your story so far - eg is this your first BC diagnosis?  (in Newly Diagnosed - https://onlinenetwork.bcna.org.au/categories/newly-diagnosed) .... then you can almost use it as a diary of your thoughts & treatments ..... updating it as you start your treatment xx

There is also a Stage 4 Private Group that you can join, where you can discuss bits in total privacy.

You may also like to listen to the Charlotte Tottman Podcasts (she is a BC Psychologist who was diagnosed a few years ago & had a double mastectomy with no reconstruction.). Her Podcasts are here:

Click on 'view 22 tracks' and start with No 13 (which is the first episode of Series One - weird that they've put Series 2 'first'!)   They are really good as she talks more as a BC survivor, not a Psychologist - and they are very easy to listen to!


Take care & all the best xx. I've sent you a message - check out the envelope between the 'avatar' and the Bell ..
