By way of a little background I have been getting pain in my ribs off and on for a couple weeks so I was sent for an xray which didn't reveal much. The pain started on the right side in a rib bone directly under my right breast which had the cancer. The last couple of days the left ribs and muscles are sore. I really felt…
There are some programs on Counterpart (which is based in Vic, but hopefully members in any state should be able to sign up) - on Scanxiety (particularly for those with Mets) ... Lymphoedema, you can do Yoga, even belly dance - and meditative painting ... and also peer support. Check the programs & events here - and…
This Facebook mob (The Recovery Room) put up different videos relating to those with cancer .... Click on the 'Video' section on Facebook to see their other topics. Most are about 5 mins in length. They do have a website but you need to pay to join .... as they say .... "FUN, HONEST and ACCURATE!" The Recovery Room has a…
Does Scanxiety ever really disappear? I think not. It is 4 years in Nov since my ILC tumours were found, by accident, by my GP - as the rural BreastScreen Bus screens totally missed it ..... TWICE.

So a mastectomy was on the table and as I was awaiting test results for BRAC gene I decided to go for gold and do two for the price of one - I do…
It's my 3 year scan this morning (at least I think it is - memory's shot) and I thought I was okay until last night when I barely slept at all. This afternoon I have an interview for the job I've been doing for the past year and with the panel, it's going to be a tough one. To top it off, youngest daughter rings me from…
Hi all, I have not been on here for sometime. Quick refresher I was diagnosed with TNBC in jan 2018 had lumpectomy no cancer in lymph nodes went on to have chemo then radiation and regular check ups. My check up 2wks ago I had tenderness in my abdomen (liver) so was sent for ultrasound which they have found lesions on my…
Yay! In spite of my concerns, the ultrasound showed no cancer. The mystery of my odd and discoloured skin patch remains, but at least it's not cancer. Starting to breathe again.
