Hi,
Sadly last week (only 3 wks after my last surgery) I felt a pop/clunk under my right arm. As the day wore on, I realised something had torn again and my expander began to drop. I visited my surgeon yesterday and he confirmed that it is now com...
I just wanted to drop a post on the day that is in it to wish everyone a very happy christmas. I know its difficult with everything going on for us but things will get better, treatments are tough but they will end and we will be better again. Here...
I finally decided this is the day! Unlike many of you I have worn my wig constantly since I lost my hair. I always had long hair and just didn't feel like me without it! (didn't really feel like me with it either) 10 months since chemo and I have abo...
Chemo two has been, and it was nowhere near as nerve wracking as number 1. I got to chat loads to Dee today and met Darina, so all in all a good day! I'm on stronger anti sickness drugs this time and although may not stop me feeling totally icky, may...

A few weeks ago, I visited the local state fair with my husband, son, and extended family. It was a toasty day and we spent most of the time carrying my six-month-old son around in our arms with his head and arms exposed to the sun. At least four tim...

Went to a load of wig shops and pretty much got the same answer. "you have lovely curls but we won't be able to match your hair"
Is there anyone out there who managed to get a decent curly wig. Am so fed up.......
Hi Girls
Just wondering about something. Just had my fifth chemo, three more to go. On your chemo day does your doctor come around to you and check you? I didnt see my doctor yesterday and three before that either - that means by next time it wil...

Hi all,
I found a large marble size lump over a week ago, attended my GP on the day who made the referral while I was with her. She said she placed it as an urgent referral and since then I have being going slightly crazy with worry. I can’t concen...
