Anxiety over secondary breast cancer
Hello everyone I am hoping for some sort of advice/reassurance as since my post-op consultation with the surgeon I have been in a complete state of anxiety and going through some real funky moods.

Three Years Today!
It's official. Three years ago today my husband and I sat in a small office at Breast Screen with a doctor we'd never met and a counsellor I'd seen twice before to receive the news that I had triple negative breast cancer. I was pretty sure before the appointment that I was going to receive a cancer diagnosis. I'd seen the…

My Journey Kit arrived today
My Journey Kit arrived today. It's interesting having a read of some of the smaller pamphlets. It's hard thinking about how my partner is feeling and hope that he will have support from friends as well. It's hard not knowing when the phone call from the hospital will come to give me a surgery date. It's hard not knowing…
