- Brenda5MemberThe oncology doctor will be your hub between hormone therapy, radiation and physiotherapy should you need it. Do you have a McGrath nurse? She may be able to help find someone to help you with the housing reports. https://www.mcgrathfoundation.com.au/get-support/find-a-nurse/

- Brenda5MemberCongrats on having the hardest bit, the surgery done. Well done you. If you are anything like me you loathe hospitals and it takes a lot just to walk in there. How is the wound feeling? Minimum, lots of two panadol every few hours will help.
How is your daughter coping? How old is she?
I wish you lived closer as I could take your daughter to the beach but I am further up the coast.
Drink lots of water is my tip. It flushes everything out especially all the medications. Don't worry about a dirty house for now. It will all keep for another time. Take care of you and your daughter. <3 - tismeMemberwas it u that tried to ring me ??? sorry bout that but I get like that I just withdraw
