Just found out I need chemo
Though I'd say hi. I'm a mum of 2 girls 5 and 2 and was diagnosed in January. I have had a lumpectomy a couple of weeks ago and it was much bigger than they thought and it now looks like I'll probably need chemo as well as radiation. I'm so overwhelmed by this.

Overseas Travel (with breast prosthesis, travel insurance)
Hello, Has anyone travelled with their breast prosthesis overseas? I read a tiny article ʻsomewhereʻ that going through security was a nightmare with the BPʻs. Second question - pre cancer, travel insurance was a must for the added security. With cancer being ʻa pre existing conditionʻ I see that travel insurance is not as…
