Here I go again
Well here I go. New here even though I joined in February 2014 when I was first diagnosed with BC. I wanted to hide away & not be associated with or communicate with all you lovely people as I knew nothing about BC so thought it would just go away & all would turn out ok! How very silly of me. I felt like a fraud if I went…

Micropapillary

Chemo Impact & required support
Hi Ladies, My Mum will soon be undergoing 4months of Medium Chemo, followed by 5 weeks of Radiation, then 5-10yrs of oral medication. Firstly I'm worried how unwell she will become with the Chemo & how much support she will likely need. Then how tired she will be with the Radiation? She has a partner, who's health isn't…

Life after active treatment
I found this network early in my treatment and interacting with others on here helped to change my view of myself.
