Three days in.
It’s been three days now since my mother has been diagnosed with cancer. It all seems so surreal. I’ve been holding all my feelings in so well until last night. I wasn’t even thinking that hard about it all and all of a sudden I just couldn’t breathe properly - I had an anxiety attack. I feel bad for this happening right…

Breast Cancer diagnosed 2 December 2018
I was diagnosed with breast cancer and it has been whirlwind from the day of diagnosis which was the 2nd of December to my Surgery 5 days ago. I think I have been on a high, but looks like I am starting to come down now. There seems to be so many emotions. I guess it's all part of it. Love to All. xx

Another bad start to the year
Hi guys I was diagnosed last week with Breast Cancer after my GP did a boob check at a routine Pap Smear in Nov. She sent me for another mammogram in early Dec (altho the July 2017 one was clear and also didn't pick it up in the 'new one') and ultrasound .... the ultrasound came back as 'inconclusive', suggesting a Biopsy…

Sucky Day
Well today was a shitter! A week ago I was given my histopathology results - favourable and contained tumour with sentinel nodes negative to cancer.
