I miss her
I have lost my mum very recently (May 13th 2014) She was diagnosed with triple negative metaplastic breast cancer on New Years Eve 2012. She had a mastectomy a month after diagnosis, agressive chemo then radiation which took us up to Nov 2013. She developed a sore back during radiation and it was found that it had spread…

Goodbye, Mum
It's over. My beautiful Mum died on 14 December last year and I still can't believe I'm writing that... that it happened. Life without her still seems incomprehensible! She was in a lot of pain at the end, but eventually was sedated and medicated and slipped into a deep sleep. She died with my three brothers and Dad and I…

My First Post

Ive been reading everyones blogs and laughed and cried over everyones experiences with BC , chemo, radiation, baldness, nausea etc. As I am moments away from that reality I am pleased there is so many other women to share it with and get advice and support from. :)

A friend in need
On this journey of cancer, tears have not flowed until I unwittingly let the hospital know that I would not have a carer. The result of that was the discovery that I have kept myself to myself through this journey and done most of my treatment on my own. To be honest, I've never thought of myself on my own as I always have…

Hello Ladies, I don't know how to describe my feelings right now: Angry? Depressed? Disappointed? Lonely? Scared? Confused? Sad? Maybe all of the above. But mostly scared, becasue I have no friends or family members to help me or support me. I just cry every day when I am alone, and pray to be able to take care of my 9…

Acceptance
It has come to be in the past week that I need to accept decline. I, once again am faced with a choice. To live in sadness at what is happening to me or cherish the moments I have. The decline in my quality of life in a short time is difficult to accept. I have lived with this disease for 2 1/2 years with minimal, though…
