    Hello again,  Prior to the chemo starting I had my PIC line fitted.  When they describe what they are going to do it always sounds 10x worse than it actually is.  That's one thing I have found so far none of the treatment is as b...

Issy is one of our stories of the month for September, where we will be focusing on cancer, sex and our relationship with our bodies. Issy talks about her feelings about her body and sexuality before, during and after her diagnosis and treatment. Her video...

    First Annual Check Up
    The examination with the breast surgeon took about 15 mins, the mammogram even less. Half an hour later a call, your mammogram is clear, and I exhaled the breath I hadn't realised I was holding. The annual check brings everything very much t...
