Re: HELP!!!
@wendy_h67 thank you :) I started 25/07, have had 3 cycles, mine is every 3 weeks & to be totally honest I am finding this more difficult than the AC. Im not sure if its the Abraxance thats making me feel tired or whether in suffering anxiety/depression thats making me so hysterical at the moment. My tm's were increased 2 weeks after first infusion but... having said that the oncologist did say dont be surprised if they are because there was more than 2 weeks between the last test & first chemo. & as I have an oncology appointment this week & I am terrified my bloods wont be good & they will tell me I cant go to Hawaii next month. I am so not Xena at this very moment. oh, yes, I have a port..

Re: What they do not tell you about accessing your super
Had mine paid within a month of applying. MLC were great I had no hassles, the longest wait was for my Oncology appointment so as I could get the forms signed by them.

Re: Do you have a work colleague that supported you after your breast cancer diagnosis?
I worked thru Chemo didn't go on leave. Had the most amazing support from my whole Project Group plus upper Management. .

Re: Aaarrrrhhhhhh
@arpie on my face!!!! along the right side of my chin.... I feel a bit fortunate its there because if it was not on my face I probably would not have got to the Doctor as quickly & then been unable to have the correct treatment. So I guess, even in this there is a silver lining :)
