Access to NDIS?
I should maybe post this in the metastatic group, but it’s fairly quiet there so I thought just a general post might be more visible. To summarise, I was diagnosed stage 4 de novo (liver mets) HER2+ in 2015 at age 40. I did 5 months of paclitaxel and have continued on with 3 weekly Herceptin and Perjeta since then. My…

Going public - will I have any choices
Hi all - I received a call last week telling me that my biopsies show cancer in one of my breasts.

DCIS - Flat, Flap or Implant??
I didn’t see it coming // Last year I had a leaking nipple, I was waking with dried patches on my pyjamas. I was annoyed and wanted the leaking to stop.
