Yes hun, I have to fly to perth, and stay down there. I'm trying to negotiate trips home with Pats to break it up so I still see the hubby and Kids at least once every two weeks
No one ever said this road would be easy but it's what you have to do to keep this disease away

So I have seen onc and she said that the pos mode in the left has come from the right. Bone scan and CT clear of any disease but because it has come accross she has to monitor me like a stage 4 patient. She didn't say I was stage 4. Has taken a week for that info to sink in and see the positives but...

Thanks, I am35, have finished 6 1/2 months chemo and about to start rads. Onc tested hormones and I have zero oestrogen which is why I'm presuming she put me on this. Not blunt at all hope the arm gets better xx

Good evening, just wondering if anyone else had been put on Exemestane instead of Tamoxafin?? My Prof BC Oncologist has put me on it as she says there are great studies ZEBRa trial I think, coming out of the U.S.
Anyone else heard this?? She also started my on Zoldex injections

Had bmx on Thursday. All went well apart from him finding positive sentinel node on the left. I am so very very glad I listened to my gut instinct and asked to have both removed. Feeling ok with mastectomy, looks weird and looks like I have an enormous tummy lol :happydance: xxx drains suck btw. Ner...

I just had my double mastectomy yesterday. All went well and I am recovering nicely. He did the full axillary on the right side with the tumour, and I had the sentinel Node Biopsy on the left. I have woken to him having to perform a full axillary of the left too. I have just seen him and he said the...

Thankyou everyone, I know it is fear of the unknown but I am pleased with my decision xxxxx

I have decided to have both removed during surgery in a couple of weeks. My onc and surgeon support this too, but I am so anxious in my head" in two weeks I'm not going to have any breasts" then I think, well I won't have any cancer either and I will be alive!! Anyone who has had the Bilat...

After 16 rounds of chemo my hair started to grow back. My last chemo was the 30/10 but have noticed my 3-4mm hair is falling out again is this normal for it to grow during treatment only to fall out again?? I was sooooo excited lol

Fantastic news

Hi hun, I was 34 and Dx with stage 3a IDC. About to have a mastectomy in 3 weeks followed by 6 weeks radio. Every tumour is different and behave differently during treatment.

Fingers crossed the AB's clear it up

Hi there, anything new I would get checked out
I had red marks in my skin too with my tumour, although maybe your cyst is pushing blood vessels closer to skin that's why it's red??? Best to get it checked as soon as you can hun xxx
