Scared
Hi, I'm new to this kind of discussion so please be patient with me. I was diagnosed with metastasic breast cancer last year. So far with chemotherapy I feel relatively good. But now it is the time of a PAP smear and I so don't want to do it. I'm so scared they find anything. Not that there are any reasons to believe they…

Searching for the positives
The past week or so has been a challenge to staying connected on here. I guess part of the frustration has been that feeling of helplessness that we all know so well from our dealings with Breast Cancer. It was not possible, no matter how hard we tried, to 'fix this'. We had to just trust that those who could, would…

Very frustrated
Brain surgery I can deal with but the protocal of public with Sir Charles Gardner is an absolute nightmare. If I was not already being treated for major depression I most certainly would be now. I honestly think some of the front line receptionists need a career change. I admire two surgeons so far who have phoned me well…
