Proper Introduction

I apologise for not getting to say hello earlier, I have just gone back to work after my year with Breast Cancer, the sugery, chemo, radiation all 6 months behind me.  I am mindful now, that every one is different.  I learnt along the way, going to the Northern Cancer Support Centre and meeting others face to face, some people dont want to talk about it, some dont want to read about it.  Ultimately I found great relief to unburden myself, and didnt have friends or family close by, at all times, so met lots of new friends, and spoke to lots of strangers.  But in my past, I have also lectured infront of people, sung in a couple of bands, and talked and cut hair for 20 years, so we are who we are.  I have never held back..... some times some people may find that annoying, who knows. (smiling).  What is important is that you understand that any time, you need to learn anything, need support or just want to spend time with others who "get it" use BCNA for the things that you feel are appropriate.  I have lived in lots of different places in Australia, and I have found the beautiful Launceston people are a bit quieter than I, so I respectfully have learnt to not assume, we all think the same.

Fear seems to be a common bond though, and how we all handle the scarey new events that take place, is very personal and different too.  

I wish you wonderful doctors, nurses, counsellors, volunteers and surgeons, because I had them all.

I am here, if you need me
