Today I had my monthly Onoclogy. Its a signifcant day as its my 10 year anniversary of living with cancer. Hereunder is the cornerstone of my medical team; Dr. Mitchell Chipman, Victorian Breast & Oncology Care, East Melbourne, Janine Mount, Senior Oncologist Nurse, St. Vincents Hospital, East Melbourne and Dr. Claire Phillips, Neuro-oncology Radiology, Peter Mac. Because of them I still have a good quality of life. I always have hope and thus far my medical team has delivered the technology that I need to keep golng well. Raise my glass to my team. My life is literally indebted to you.

Well done you and your team. Hoping for many many more years of you feeling well.

Congratulations, that's awesome!! Wishing you many more anniversaries just like this one. Xxxx

Always so good to read such a happy story. Well done. We have to be so thankful for such brilliant Specialists we have here in Australia. Xox ox

Well done, here's to the 20th anniversary.

Congratulations Karen. Our teams become like second family. Here's to them all, and to the next 10 years for you! xx

Thanks Karen . It is stories like yours that reduce my fear and anxiety at times. I am normally fine but every once in a while I worry about wot if?
You have shown us that if things dont go to plan there is a possibility there can still be a bright future.

Congratulations Karen. Isn't Mitchell just gorgeous?! Was on a trial and he was one of the investigators. I am now off the trial so don't get the pleasure of Mitchell's company any more!

Thanks for answering Karen and for the hope!
I have De Novo metastatic cancer. A 3cm lump in the breast but already a small lesion in the liver. I decided to have chemo before surgery and it was picked up on a CT scan. You and your team must be a winning combination!
