Isn't it weird what makes you feel better?
I had my oncologist checkup today. Some of you may know that I quite like my onc - he's always been supportive and honest with me and never disparaging. At the checkup today he was, as usual, asking me questions about how I'm faring with the Letrozole and he was pleased that some things have improved, less pleased that…

Anyone having tech issues with "drafts"
@Sister, Things aren't working over here a lot too! Anyone having issues going back into a draft to edit it?? Every time I try to open the draft it it tells me "You do not have permission to do that." Also some posts post properly but if I go to edit them it comes up with "conversation miss match" or "will be posted after…

The friends you make
I hung out with this crazy chick in November. You've gotta love the willingness with which you flash your tits when @Zoffiel asks you to show her your new 'nipples'!

NED and fantastic medical teams 💕
Today I am officially NED 😃🤩🥳🥰. On the 4 Dec, I finally had my left nipple removed, and today at my post op appointment results came back clear. After my nipple/skin sparing mastectomies in April, it was the last thing that needed removing as it had traces of DCIS. This surgery was supposed to be done in April, but long…

Hodgkin's Lymphoma
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in October this year. Previously, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma (this is a form of blood cancer) and underwent (ABVD) chemotherapy and (full mantle) radiotherapy. I was wondering if anyone on this forum had undergone treatment for a different type of cancer prior to being…

Stoic? Why? Venting
I'll say straight up that this is a vent. I don't think it would go down well in other places and might not here, either. I'm sick of hearing how strong and stoic those with cancer are, or are expected to be. If someone has cancer and is suffering pain, etc from it or from treatment, and not complaining, they are held up…

Ex-Med Exercise (Melbournians only)
I did the Ex-Med programme last year in their trial phase. Yesterday I received an email saying they were up and running and open to anyone who's had cancer. We don't have the Encore programme in Victoria, and while we have to pay for this one, I can thoroughly recommend it for post-active treatment strength and fitness…

Even though there will always be fear lurking in the background, I finally…
