Finding love again
Hello everyone,
Was wondering if anyone has found it difficult to start a new relationship since breast cancer. I'm trying not to over think it but it scares me to think it could be a possibility. I think it's got to me a bit following an innocent comment from a friend that now I have no breast and experienced cancer this would scare potential partners.
Breast cancer gene
Hello, I was wondering what the costs were to find out if you are carrying the Breast cancer gene. Is it expensive? Thanking you in advance, Donna xx
Isolated and frustrated
Hello everyone,
I'm feeeling like I've had a delayed reaction and things are starting to come to the core. Why do I feel the need to be in control of everything?!
Operation was last Oct for breast cancer left mastectomy, axillery clearance, AC chemo x 4 just finished, Taxol next for 12 wks followed by radiotheraphy) being a single woman I've found really hard. My family and friends have been fantastic and are all pitching in whenever they can but at the end of the day I feel alone.

Hello everyone, I've just finished my 3rd AC with one more to go 2nd Feb followed by Taxol which will be weekly for 12 sessions. Being quite a social person I'm finding that I'm feeling like a spectator looking in especially about a week after AC. Today I was so looking forward to catching up with a heap of girlfriends visiting all the galleries in melbourne with champagne at each stop ( its a yearly tradition ) and I was like a zombie! I also got quietly stressed fielding all the questions about my treatment . Repeating myself over and over.
AC side effects & Taxol
Hello everyone, I hope you enjoyed your xmas. quick message to introduce myself as I'm keen to hear what experiences you have had with AC and Taxol chemo. ( Early breast cancer, left mastectomy, lympnodes removed, stage 3) Hormonal- negative) I've just finished my 2nd treatment of AC ( 22nd Dec) 2 more to go at 3 weekly intervals and then Taxol weekly for 12 weeks. I've been advised that AC is the one that will shake me up a bit with Taxol being a walk in the park but more inconvenient.
