Slow Down Project

With a lot of wait time coming up with appointments and treatments I was looking at a portable time fill option - so hand embroidery it is!

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. It's not a total surprise as there is a very strong family history of it - I always felt like a ticking time bomb. Regardless, I feel like a bit of a zombie at the moment, the situation is consuming me. The shock of it and…

Had a mamagram and got called back to for a further look at 2 things, turns out those things were fine but found a BC lump which…

Chemo timing
Does anyone know why it’s ideal to start chemotherapy within 8 weeks of surgery? What happens if you start later and if it’s so effective then why can’t you do it at anytime? What do you do if you have to have second surgery? More questions 😳😳
