Searching for a Gladstone QLD group
Hi everyone. I've just found out Friday that I've got breast cancer. Haven't told my eldest son yet because he's away, so I can't ask on Facebook or he'll see it.

Seeking feedback on St Vincent’s oncology Lismore v’s Lismore Base Hospital
Hi all i am starting 6 cycles of Docetaxel/Cyclophosphamide (TC) treatment next week but still haven’t decided between St Vincent’s Hospital in Lismore or Lismore base hospital.

Take 1 or Take 2 breasts
Newly diagnosed with DCIS. Surgery scheduled for the right breast. Conflicted over whether to take the left as well. Will the difference in look and feel be a substantial mental health element?
