I had surgery yesterday with wide lobal excision and sentinal node biopsy. No nodes removed. I am home in less than 24hrs. The amount removed was the size of an orange. Full results next week. Doing well feeling strong but weary. Just the next waiting game for the full results. Need to keep myself positive. I am in awe of all the beautiful women who have gone through this before me.331Views7likes10CommentsBCNA helpline open 7 days a week from 9 am till 5 pm

Our Group has been going strong since forming in early 2011. We are still meeting weekly, either for Afternoon Tea at the Sundowner Hotel/Motel or for a craft day at Spotlight. We alternate between the 2 venues. There is always a notice in the Community Diary section of the Whyalla News. (local paper) In April....weekend of 17th, 18th & 19th we are holding a very special Event......A "Health & Lymphoedema Awareness EXPO" which we are fortunate to have received a very generous grant from the Whyalla City Council to enable us to run this function. Professor Neil Piller, a Lymphologist, and a leader in his field, will be bringing a team of professionals to Whyalla, where they will conduct a presentation of the Friday evening, then workshops & screenings on Saturday and if necessary on the Sunday as well. This is a very exciting venture for us and we are thrilled to be hosting it for the benefit of people in Whyalla and surrounds. We thank BCNA for their support with this event also. Contact me (Rae) for more information.401Views1like23CommentsSydney Breast Reconstruction Support Group Sunday 24th February 2019
